    I have the v 2 out on a stand to repair oil leaks , I'm thinking of pulling the heads of and replacing the head gaskets , does the head get seized on the studs ,
    last year rebuilt a alfa romeo and it took 5 hrs to get the head off
    or should I just leave it
    it s a 82 400 I
    and any tips on putting sealer on gaskets , anywhere
    thanks

    If the heads have never been removed, they will be stuck on the studs. The best way is by using a puller plate. Still a major PITA.
    I've never used sealer. The better head gaskets come with a silicone bead around the passages.
