Default Tips on Replacing Header Gaskets

Alrite, so I got the whole situation with the clutch figured out yesterday. Went to start it up and blammo, I got a leak at the header. Kinda pissed, makes me wish I had the extra cash to spring for the better stuff when I had the motor out. Anyway. Need some tips on accessing the bolts for the headers. Anything and everything is appreciated. Thanks

they shouldnt be too hard to get to on the SOHC motors. some of them will be easier to access from under the car and some better from under the hood. make sure you get the mating surfaces really good and clean before you put the new gaskets on.
