[s-cars] Ur S4 Headgasket Change

[Ian Duff]

I recently changed the head gasket on my 95.5 S6. I ended up seperating the
EM from the head, and lifting the head and IM intact. It was easier to
separate the EM from the head than from the downpipe. The biggest problem
was EM stud clearance when lifting off and then when replacing the head.
Good luck. It wasn't that bad, just make sure you have access to a crank
lock and BIG breaker bar. I broke the 1/2" square drive part on my Craftsman
breaker bar, surprised me what force I could apply with six feet of pipe
over the end of the breaker bar <g>. Good thing for the lifetime warranty.
