Man what s***ty luck. This job is not as hard as it seems, even on a SHO (yes, they operate the same way a normal combustion engine does
).
A couple words of advice:
-Have the heads checked at a machine shop. Have them pressure tested, and have them mill the surface to make it flat. It's worth the extra $150 or so you'll spend.
-Change the oil, immediately. Don't do the filter now, just the oil. If there's any antifreeze in the oil, it will eat away at the rod and main bearing surfaces.
-While you're at it, this is a good time to perform the 60k. You'll have everything off anyhow, and the head gasket set should come with the valve cover gaskets and plug well seals that are mostly leaking at this point.
-I have a 93 Helms manual, and 92 and 95 service CD's. If you need them, let me know and I'll send them along to you.
Any other questions, you know you can post here, PM or email me, or if the s*** really hits the proverbial fan, you can call me.
Best of luck, and welcome to the TCCA head gasket club!
