How do you replace the head gasket located on a 1994 Toyota Tercel?

Answer 1

Answerremove the valve cover, remove the head, purchase a high quality gasket (you don't want to have to do this again) and replace the head and valve cover. you'll probably want to replace the valve cover gasket as well, gaskets aren't made to be reused. Make sure to properly torque all bolts to required specs (very important!).

If I were you I would take the head over to a machine shop. Have them check the head for valve wear cam wear rocker arm wear valve guides and valve stems seals in other words rebuild the head. They should also check the deck for flatness. If you were to put the head back on the engine and the flatness ex cease the tolerance allowed you could blow the head gasket. Keep in mind the head is aluminum on a cast iron block. I am sure the head has moved.
