If you have done 4cyl's there realy isn't too much difference. You just have two to do.

actually..i forgot earlier in my post, but on mine.. i put a bottle of a sealer in my car and it doesnt smoke anymore.
it did smoke when i caught my dead grass underneath it on fire though.

but yea i put a bottle in it and it doesnt smoke anymore. i drove it earlier. pretty amazing. i dont know how long it'll last.

since you're gonna change the gaskets anyway. try a bottle first. on the bottle it says it'll seal up blocks, head gaskets, radiator leaks,etc.

ARE YOU POSITIVE IT'S THE HEAD GASKET?? you sure it's not an intake gasket?? what about a timing cover gasket???......all these have areas where coolant can mix with the oil... there is actually less spots on the head gasket that can do such... after overheating it probably does have bad gaskets but don't overlook the timing cover cause I had one recently where the water pump impeller broke a piece off and knicked the inside of the cover causing a leak from there to inside the block.. oil was milky.....intake won't matter since you gotta pull it to do heads...but just a thought
