well the wife is back in the 4x4 game, this time with an 85 pickup. we are all very excited.
anywho, i have to replace the head gasket this weekend to get it running tip-top, and ive been trying to dig up some info on the procedure since i like to know what im getting into before i do something, but i have not been able to find anything. that either tells me im not looking hard enough, or its so straight forward that there is nothing ot it. right now the only thing im really worried about is reconnecting all the wire and vaccuum lines after i get the head back on.
right now the general idea i have of it is
-unhook and label wires/lines
-remove head
-get head inspected for warping and have it machined as necassary
-place gasket as well as some squeezable gasket sealer
-finger tighten bolts back on
-torque the 10 bolts to 58 ft lbs in correct order
-reconnect wires
-take dogs to park.

is that the general idea or am i totally missing something?
