How do you replace the head gasket on a Chevy Impala?
Dis-connect battery hot wire, remove air cleaner and other components in order to remove the intake manifold. Remove head, insert each bolt into cardboard and mark which hole each came out of. The same goes for all parts removed, mark each with arrows, numbers or whatever it takes so as to replace all back to how you found them before starting your repairs. Remove defective head gasket, clean gasket material off both the block and the head with a putty knife or other tool. Install new gasket, replace head and all other parts in reverse order and you’re done. Of course you want to use good gasket sealer for the manifold and hose connections. DO NOT USE GASKET MATERIAL BETWEEEN THE HEAD AND ENGINE BLOCK. ONLY THE NEW HEAD GASKET GOES THERE!!!!!!!!!!
