Head gasket help

[smokey k33]

How hard is it to do a head gasket on a 95 eclipse FWD Turbo? Any speciality tools?

Basic metric tools should be plenty to take off a head. However, you do need to have "special" tools to do a timing belt. In the future, please post in the correct section, not the site feedback section. Welcome to our site

Also use this a lot; Just type in 'headgasket' or 'replace headgasket' in the keyword option.

You will need a good accurate torque wrench.

Have you ever replaced a headgasket on an engine like this? (i.e. interferance engine, DOHC, fun with timing belts). Its not so much hard as time consuming. Just take your time and things should go well. Make sure you read up on it a bit, understand keeping the timing sprockets in alignment, etc.

A breaker bar will definitely be your friend for those pesky hex style bolts.
