My car (Loyale) is ready for some new headgaskets, and I'm really unsure as to what I'm doing. So, I'm just wondering if there is anyone in the area that could help me out? I can pay for time...

Well, I'm down in Puyallup and can do them if you can get it here. It would be a good learning experience for you if you're unsure about things like this. Ski

At least you don't have to pull the motor. Its way easier to pull it. I've never done an ea81 but I've done an ea82 and an ej HG. Are you planning to get your heads flattened? You might find some fun stuff in an ea82. Hows your lifters?
