First take the car to a car wash, steam clean the engine bay, then remove, air conditioning compresssor, water pump, intake manifold, distributor, then valve covers, remove all the bolts you see on the cylinder heads, once you have removed them, , get your engine to TDC (cylinder one on top of the compression stroke,) verifying that the timing mak on the crankshaft pulley is on TDC also (aligned with the mark on the block, usually a metal pin). get the new gaskets, align them with the dowels and pins on the block, install the new ones, then (of course everything is absolutely clean (threads of the bolts included)) then insert and screw the bolts by hand until they seat, then use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to 1/3rd of the specified torque, ina aspiral pattern frm the center bolt outwards, once you have done this, increase the torque to 2/3rds, and then to 3/3rd (the total) specified value. Then reinstall the intke manifold, distributor (aiming at cylinder 1) valve covers , etc. (please watch some YouTube videos on the subject before starting). BTW it is a hell of a job, you will bruise your hands, and sweat like a pig. Good Luck
