I just hope since this will be my first time this deep in an engine... That I won't screw her up... On the other side... It will be great learning for me
If this is your only transportation and you need her for work, and this is your first time.... I would STRONGLY recommend renting a car for work, 2 days for head gaskets is almost un-doable if you want to do it right. You have to take your time, be thorough, and its a good idea to get the heads machined when you take them off (which could add a day or two to your time). If youre rushed to slap it back together then the likelihood of overlooking something is almost 1 to 1. Just my 2c
