Head gasket?

[Keg_GT]

OK i have some problems. the head gasket has gone on my car. how difficult is this to change, and how much is a head gasket kit including stretch bolts? im of 2 minds of weather to start doing the work and open a can of worms or to sell up and move on.

It wont cost too much,you may aswell do the exhaust gasket whilr you're at it coz they can go and are a pain in the arse to sort one the head is fitted.Be very careful though not to disturb the liners as there are Waaafer Theeeen gaskets under them that are easily damaged.As for the head bolts I dont think that they are stretch bolts and you will be ok to re use them.I always have in the past.Its not a hard job either.
