no way possible....the head bolts are under the camshaft. If you didnt have to remove the cams, it wouldnt cost 300-400 dollars to replace a head gasket.

I have all the gaskets, I just thought you needed some kind of a liquid gasket as well as the rubber one. I am just unsure of what type to get, is it worth the cost of nissan's or is there an rtv or what ever that will work.

you just need a little bit in the half moon parts.
SuperBlack will work. Any auto parts store has it.

I never said I paid 300-400 dollars to change a head gasket. Thats how much I charge people and thats what shops and dealerships charge to change one.
