Hello Hello!

I have a 2000 Nissan Xterra (v6 4wd), and my local Nissan dealer told me that it would cost about $3000 to replace it. I have done a decent amount of work on my X already, so my father and I thought we would attempt to replace it ourselves. We have the FSM manual, but still are lacking a bit of confidence.

Has anyone successfully replaced their head gasket themselves? Would you be willing to try to walk through the steps you took to get the heads off? Are there any tips or tricks to making the process go a bit smoother?

Thanks so much!
