    Pretty easy. Takes time though. Replace coolant elbows and vc gaskets while you have it apart. Also coolant flush and oil change in case any gets in the lift valley.

    Well I got it done today and got everything going but it still don't acclerate right and don't act right. I don't know I'm about to go insane with this and yes you all the gaskets were shot. I'm really thinking about trying buy a NEW engine I don't want to have no worries. Do any one know where pick a new engine up and wouldn't mind if it was built up a little. I also changed all the plugs except one because store only had 5 and I went with the ac delco iridium plugs. 2 plugs were HORRIBLE and others seemed so so. I didn't get plug wires so I'm going do that in the morning and pick up that other plug hopefully at another store or wait until they get one in. But if that don't fix it I don't freaking know tired messing with it just want be able cruise and not worry. Any ways any tips etc let me know the engine has like 220000 so that is why was thinking just put whole new engine.
