CaptORM:
Hey man no prob.  Sorry I couldnt get out there and help.  Im glad to hear that everything went well.  Welcome to the list of guys that can do their own head gasket.  That saves alot of money.  When I did mine i figured I saved about $3000. 

How did that gasket remover do ya?
Did you end up doing the complete upper engine rebuild or just the head gasket?

footman:
The gasket remover worked ok but I found that just a new blade and firm steady hand was enough.  I didnt do the upper rebuild.  I had thought about it and whe I took it to LL, Dave looked at the valves and was surprised of how good they looked.  He's the pro so I listened to him.  I figured I have about $550 into the job.  I'd love to know how much I saved.

HOT-ROD:
just look at how much time it took and multiply it by $95.00

X .08% fees

X .06% tax.

plus a $120.00 lift fee.

plus a 75.00 hazmat disposal fee, for fluids.

you saved a lot.
