1997 Pathfinder head gasket replacement

[RayBbaby]

Yeah, My Pathy's head gasket is shot. Was hoping it was just about anything else. Going to try to do it myself. I've done it several times on older Toyos with just four cylinders in them. Never messed with a V6 or any of this mess I've got going under this hood of mine now. It's kind of intimidating, but it's just an oversized toy, right? Guess I'll start with the radiator...... Wish me luck.

Good luck. I just replaced the motor when mine went.

Oh Man!! I just spent my afternoon trying to get the upper intake manifold off. What a nightmare. A couple hours into it and I still haven't got that upper manifold off. It's being held on by a heater hose and a quick connect that I can't get at until that hose is off. What a night mare. My right forearm and both hands are tore up from trying to get at that little hose. What a pain.

Any suggestions for a brand or distributor of head bolts? Thought I'd order them with the gasket set and save some shipping charges.
