Head Gasket on 8 Cyl

Posted by Jim McDermaid On 2016/10/16 9:30:25

I am in need of replacing the head gasket on my 54 Cavalier.

It leaks from the rear drivers side corner pop-pop-pop.

The head was off when the car was restored in the 1990's as I have pictures.

Last head job I did was on a model T ford in the 1970's.

I am seeking any suggestions such as how to remove the head in one piece, how to get old gasket materials off easy, What kind of sealer I should use etc.

Maybhe I should pay the guys at vintage auto repair here in Phoenix AZ,

I have a new head gasket in hand.

Suggestions are appreciated.
