How do you replace the head gasket on a Honda Accord EX?

To change the head gasket, you need to remove the valve cover, intake and exhaust manifolds, and engine head. This is not a Saturday mechanic's project.

You should have a reliable mechanic do this.

If you want to attempt this yourself, I would recommend that you purchase a CHILTON or HAYNES repair manual. It will do a good job of explaining how to work on it. They are available at many book stores and auto parts stores.

AnswerReplacing the head gasket on any vehicle is a long and complicated process, however if you wish to see basic step-by-step instructions go to the related question on the right side of the page "How do you replace a head gasket?

I've outlined the details with photos for a 99 to 01 Accord 4 Cylinder in a site I developed:

I also replaced the timing belt w/components, water pump and radiator.
