How do u change a head gasket for a 97 geo tracker 1.6 litter?

unbolt the exhaust manifold. You may be able to get away with not undoing the intake manifold..in many cases you can. this engine has a timing belt so align the timing marks prior to removing the timing belt. undo the throttle linkages and any other brackets. Drain the engine coolant. unbolt the valve cover then remove the spark plugs. Remove the cylinder head bolts then remove the head. clean all the surfaces thoroughly then replace in the opposite sequence. once you have it together change the oil and add fresh coolant then give it a whirl.
