Fellow z ers! i need your help. My 81 non turbo is down with a blown head gasket and a blown exhaust manifold gasket i ordered the exhaust manifold gasket today and i plan on picking up the head gasket soon. I need advice on what to look out for when doing the tear down and rebuild of this top part of the engine. as well as any helpful tips. I am a fairly knowledgeable do it yourself but it always seems like when i go to work on my z it takes forever to get what i need done. So any tips tricks or advice you guys have would be so much appreciated thanks.

First of all, this is a technical question, not a request for parts.

If you post it under the regular 280ZX area you'll get a few responses.
