It was pretty cool this morning -- enough to where the Civic ran noticeably smoother.

I love this time of year, I wish it stayed this way all the time
I keep thinking the same thing but I don't really want to do all that without Hondata

This! It's like I would, but why pass up doing the whole thing while I'm doing all that work...
Gotta take off the bumper (guaranteed broken clips) and potentially move components that I'll lose the bolts to-- psssssh.

I just don't want to stare at a CEL until I can get Hondata. One of the many benefits of working at a body shop is that I have unlimited access to bolts and clips

$3000 to get my friend to do the head gaskets. apparently you have to remove the engine first.

I'm not sure what generation (or year) xterra you have, but I see some guides and videos showing the replacement without removing the engine.
google "xterra head gasket replacement" and look at "vidoes" or "all", and you should see tons of results on xterra forums regarding it.

It's all for the first gen with the 3.3. Mines a 2nd gen 4.0l. I just got the procedure off my friend. Can't seem to find where it says remove the engine. I'm gonna do this in my garage.

there is a little info here
Head Gasket Replacement on 2ndGen
might be worth seeing if you can get info from this user. They clearly have a factory service manual (or access to it), as they were looking up the info for the original user.

I've got the procedure from mitchel on demand. I looked at it quickly and couldn't see where it said remove the engine. Im hopeful it's not a requirement now and will be able to do the job slowly in my garage.there is a little info here

Yikes. Are there other stations in your area that carry it, or is it hard to find where you live?
