Engine + Driveline / Head Gasket replacement

« on: September 06, 2012, 12:51:50 PM »

Can't find a definitive answer anywhere for this, surely someone has it...

Due to do the change (will be swapping both head and profile gasket)

What other parts do I need? A list would be handy - gaskets, bolts, etc etc

Cheers

Off-topic discussion / Head/Profile gasket change.

Hi guys, am new to the forum so sorry for asking something that has undoubtedly been asked a million times. I'm in desperate need of getting my car fixed and running again. Mayo on the dipstick so I'm assuming Head or Profile gasket.

Is there an easy way to find out which it is or do I have to strip the lot? Should I just replace the two at the same time?

Could someone point me towards a decent guide for the change, including all (usual) parts and tools required?

EDIT: This is for a 1990 318iS

Thanks,
Alex
