[Roadsters] Head Gasket Replacement

Hello, All.

It has become apparent that I can't keep putting off replacing the head
gasket - I can see the leaking around it, and we're heading into a nice
long maintenance season up here in New England, so I might as well get to
it.

How much trouble could I get into if I've never done this before?

I will say that I have pulled the engine myself, taken apart the
transmission to get the 5th-gear "neutral" fixed, replaced the clutch, and
got it all back together in good working order.  I have also shimmed the
timing chain to reduce slack.  But I have never had the head off.

Not that hard, or better left to the professionals?

I have always appreciated this list, and the generosity of the members in
sharing what they know.  Thanks.

John
