ps2cho...I'm sure I need to do this. How hard is it and what tools did you use? Also, would these cause any type of leak at the headgasket if they are bad?

has nothing to do with the headgasket.


ideally you need an air compressor... an attachment that screws into the cylinder...and the correct spring compressor...

i never had the correct spring compressor....and never got a set of seals on the cylinder next to the firewall... the next time i do this.... it will be with the correct spring compressor.

do a search.... you should find the answers

oh..and some magnetic hands to catch some pieces on the spring....

there are pictures out there....

i am sure a pro could do it in two hours.... i do it painstakingly..and it took me about 5... and that was doing 10 or 11 seals...not all 12
