I did the headgasket on my C900. I STRONGLY suggest going down to walmart and getting one of those $10 plastic organizers for nuts/bolts/tools. They look like those things ppl use for fishing lures etc. You may want to get more than one. Also, youre probably not going to finish in a day so make sure you have some plastic garbage bags to cover the cylinders once the head is off, and some paper towels to shove down in the cylinders before you put the bags on. Another suggestion: if you are going to be working somewhere tight that is also greasy, and you cant wear gloves cause you need to feel with your fingers, put some hand lotion all over your hands and it will make your hands much MUCH easier to clean as the grease wont be able to attach to your skin. Anyone replacing a steering rack, I suggest this for that task also.
Good luck with the head gasket job.
Robert
