Jim, I'm not sure how "profile comments" works but I found this one only by accident. PMs (private messages) pop up a notification flag, unless the forum has changed something "this" comment area isn't the same.

Either way...no, my only hint would be rear everything twice before doing it, and buy a decent torque wrench. Keep it in the original carton and treat it like a piece of glass, because dropping one can knock off the calibration.

Other than that...Exorcism?<G>

hello, looks like I have to replace the head gasket on my Yanmar 3GM30. First time for me doing the operation. Do you have any tips or tricks I should know. I have the manual from yanmar. THANKS.
