Title: How do I post a "How To" on replacing the head gasket with pic's.
Post by: Phreon on March 02, 2010, 09:14:49 AM

I just replaced my timing chain profile gasket that requires removing the head. I have many pics and I will post a how to if someone can tell me how to lay it out.

I want the pics next to the appropriate text.

Will be a long upload.

I posted my "How to remove and replace an E42 head." in Engines forum but when I tried to attach the 320k jpg pic's the upload fails.

Can you tell me what I need to do?

Thanks

use photobucket or another hosting site and copy the image codes.

Why can't I just upload from my computer to the Forum using the attachments button? Seems like that why it is there.
I'm not trying to be stubborn, but it seems like the right way to go about it.

because the site uploader is shit. a offsite hosting service is faster and easier.

Thanks 4banger,
It failed to load my images.
Why are things always tough.

I will make a Photobucket account.
But they only allow 5 pics a day or some bull.

I uploaded a pic to Photobucket.
I edited my post and tried to add the Photobucket pic link.
It failed "Unable to open a temporary file."
