    Head gasket

    Hi,
    I have the chance to buy a williams clio with head gasket gone. Does any one know if its possible to do a head gasket in the car without removing the engine to do so? The bay is that tight to work in as we all know.

    Thanks,

    Ian Morris

    Possible, just a hell of a lot harder than taking the engine out and doing it out the car

    My OCD about HG's failing requires I replace at least one a year.
