Need some Expierence Advise for a rookie.

[jfrank133]

Hello everyone, I need some Expierence advise about my truck, I have a 87 chevy scottsdale with a 305 ingine, one of the head gasket went out. Now my question is how hard would it be for a rookie that has never done this type of job, take out the motor and fix the head gasket, would it be to hard for someone that has never done this type of work to fix this problem. I have the automotive repair manual to guide me. please tell me if it can be done or if im really going over my head. Will there be some type of work that i would need some special tool to use in the process. please let me know. JFrank
