Daihatsu Sportrack 1989 Head Gasket Replacement

Forum: 

Does anyone know of any problems/recommendations to replacing the head gasket on a Daihatsu Sportrack petrol 1.6 16v?
Mine is using water and blowing steam out of the exhaust.
I think I have caught the problem early as the engine has only got warm, not too hot and used a couple of pints of water only so hoping the head is ok.
I would like to know if the Head Bolts need repacing as well as the gasket?
Cheers

Head gasket

No need to replace the bolts, But as you had an overheating prob, i would invest the £25 to get it re-skimmed. While your there may be an idea to replace the valve guides and get the valves re-ground, saves doing it again down the line.
