My ls400 started having problem so it was taken to the shop, the people at the shop who i completely trust say that the head gasket is gone and that the pistons may have also been damaged. so here is the question. can i change the head gasket myself?... the reason i ask is because i cant find any wright-ups and dont yet have a manual to see what the process involves. my background in engine work is limited to jeeps. i have done everything to a jeep except for digging lower in the engine than the head, so i would say that is my weak spot. so far things like engine tranny t-case swaps and allsorts of suspension setups haven't be too hard. but i know that this is jeep, its simple. this is why i am hesitant to try the rip apart the lex, i dont think there nearly as simple as the jeep (if this were a jeep it would already be in piece's) so do you think this task is too big for me, i'm mostly worried about small things that might make this too hard for me. any segestions would be great manual segestions and web wright-ups would be greatly appreciated-sp?
