  • Head gasket

    How hard would it be to replace a head gasket and possibly a head? What parts are required?

    what is your mechanical experience? do you think you have the neccasary hand tools.

    off the top of my head, the obvious parts are head gasket, valve cover gasket, new m10 head bolts, coolant, and i would do an oil change. i have never done a camaro and im honestly too lazy to look on SI but i would think that the intake would need to come off so if so, intake gaskets. do a search. this has been discussed

      adding to the list above ^^^
      exhaust mani gaskets, rocker bolts, both intake gaskets, and depending on which head, you may need fuel line disconnect tools, patience!

        if you go to discount auto they usually sell the gasket kits that come with all the necessary gaskets for that job. make sure you have a variety of sockets and what not already on hand. if youve never done this before do it on a day when you have nothing to do cuz its going to take a bit of time and as said above alot of patience. Also get a haynes book or one of the sorts. they help alot
