Replacing Head Gasket
Hey Guys, I got a line on a good deal for a 99 SC1. It has less than 90,000 miles on it and the owner says it needs a head gasket. SOHC engine, so shouldn't be too bad of a job. I need to know what brand head gasket you guys are recommending and using and whether or not the head bolts need to be replaced. I don't know if they're torque-to-yield head bolts in the Saturns or if they're reusable. I'd appreciate any feedback because I can get this car for less than 800 bucks, but got the feeling I need to act quickly. I want to get it and get it fixed so my son can have a work car. He can pay me back a little at a time once he's working. And if not, I can flip it for a profit if I have to. If I do get it and get it fixed, then I may sell my Grand Caravan and just keep the SC. Mileage will sure be a hell of a lot better!
