97 4.6 head gasket

[scottyfireman]

I have a 97 4.6L that I am going to have to change a head gasket on.

I was wondering if any one had any tips or tricks or things to be aware of before I tare into this thing.....

Or issues concering replacing head gaskets on a 4.6L...

Several things to be aware of. Reccommend a Chilton's book. Step-by-step instructions.

Cannot rotate the crank with the heads on and the timing chain off. The pistons could contact the valves.
