I work with what i got and dont got much. Try to spend little as possible due to the amount ive already spent.didnt have anything but a new head

You have to assemble it in the proper order and use new gaskets... You can do it right, or do it over...

Trying to cut corners and take the cheap way out can bite you in the @ss...

You get out of it what you put into it...

Get new head and intake gaskets, remove the intake and head, and put it on properly... Install a new head gasket and torque the head bolts, then install the intake with new gaskets and torque that to spec...

Sorry about your back problems, some of us have to deal with that also... I was rear ended by a drunk 18 year old driver back in 1988 doing over 90 mph... I feel your pain...

Never have i ever done a head without new intake gaskets.
Its just a bad move. Over 10-30 dollars and a dozen bolts. Do it once, do it right.

Not a good reason to cut corners.
What if it didnt have a noticeabke leak and dumped coolant into crancase? Cost of damage by far outweighs the price of a gasket set.

I feel your pain, working with a bad back sucks.
I was laid up and had to get my 2.2 turbo finished. I used a shop crane to pull and replace head.
Its a horrible job with a sciatica flare up. I do this crap for a living, bad back or not i need to get the work done.

Agree...
