March 9, 200521 yr okay in about two week i'm changing all my gaskets on my suby due to an oil leak. any one of you guys know what parts i need and tools. (also doing the inner gaskets.) who has had any past experience with this type of work? i need advice before i put my hands to work.i don't wanna mess my engine up due to spare parts

March 10, 200521 yr Its easy to pull the engine to make gasket replacement easier. If your just doing the oil pan and valve covers, they can be accomplished with a 10mm socket and a 12mm wrench. If you want to do your intake gaskets and oil pump, it will take alittle more. You dont need anything special, a basic set of metric tools should complete the job. If you plan on removing the engine, you'll need a hoist of course, but a carburated motor wont have much in the way. -Brian
