Re: is there any one that could help me change my head gasket ?

Read the forum. Its pretty much the same between all the civics- you need to pull the head- the main thing is you need to pay attention to is the order and how how much you are tightening/loosing the bolts- if you do them too much, you'll warp the head. Use a criss cross pattern and unscrew/tighten them 1/4 turn at a time. Just line it up, put it back on and tighten in the order you loosed them in (the criss cross pattern).

its alot harder than you think, i would not try it if youve never even done a timing belt before. i had two buddies change mine who have done it quite a few times before and it took them the whole day. its a huge job and half the engine bay has to come out.
