Head gasket change

[clean16v]

Pretty certain i know how to....but have i missed anything?

lock crank out where cam pulley markers line up, strip down, take head off.....check gasket and for warping of head, build it back up, head bolts torqued up in order, re-line pulley to markers, tension up cam belt.


Turn engine over from crank forwards and backwards before starting engine.

Have i missed anything?
