Cool Head gasket and ARP head studs help

Ok im not looking to pay for someone to do this for me but just to help me out and provide hands on tech advice due to the fact that i have never done this before.. Im about to go turbo on my SOHC vtec and want to change my headgasket and put in some ARP head studs. I have the general know how but would like a more experienced person there with me. I know this sounds dumb but i need it done rite and want to learn how to at the same time. If there is anyone out there who can help me out let me know, I would be very apriciative and the person would be compencated for thier time.

Thanx

good luck removing the oem head bolts. i couldn't even get mine out with an impact gun, we eventually had to cut them out and in the process tore up the head.

You do not use an impact gun on any bolt on an engine.
