Hey ya'll!
First post, I've been a member for awhile, have read hundreds of posts just hadn't had time to work on my SC yet.
Story: A family friend gave me his '90 SC, it had "brake issues", and had been sitting for probably 5 years without running.
I did the routine "crappy old un-ran car" maintenance ; oil, coolant, spark plugs, wires, filters etc.
Long story short I was burning up the old rear tires and ended up blowing my head gasket (who would have thought... )
SOOO having not done the heads on this motor (I'd like to think I'm a fairly competent mechanic) are there any tricks/tips one of ya'll more experienced fellas might have? Its all going down this weekend, I've taken a few things off the motor already. Top-end gasket got in yesterday. I also am converting to the power boost brake setup while I have some more room under the hood to move around. The stupid ABS is going to get smashed when I'm done taking it out...
Thanks ya'll!
