[Zilvia33]

well it was going pretty good.

took about an hour and half to get the head off and every thing.

put the bolts in, had slight trouble getting the head gasket on....but finally got it on. then the bad

Trying to get the head back on, we snapped one of the timing chain guides (the one on the exhaust side) so my weekend has just been shot down the drain......

dammit

Uhhh.... why are the pics gone?

Yea......I am wondering the same thing. Did anybody else save them? Any hopes on getting these back up?

There's a link back at the top to the photobucket page. I found what I needed, hope you can do the same!

Also there a couple of mispelled words (I was a noob back then). Since this is in the archieve I don't want to edit it and mess it up, its been awhile so I'm just getting back into the forum. Thanks and glad how many people found this very helpful, had a good amount e-mail me personally back when I had this up for a couple months.

You should also put the parts needed up there (i.e. head gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, head studs, turbo exh gasket, etc) - the essentials, at least, ya know? Great, great write-up. Especially since you did this w/pics, solo!
