I might be buying a w124 body 300d, 90's vintage with the facelifted headlights (not sure what year). only 160k miles.

it leaks coolant. the local indy told the owners that it will be needing a head gasket soon.

I might take the plunge if the price is right.

Question- how difficult is the head gasket r/r job? do i need special tools? do i need to farm out any special tasks (to a machine shop).

all tips are appreciated.
