How to do a HeadGasket Job

Hi,

I have recently blown my headgasket, and it is getting worse. I want to do the whole job by my self, and I was wondering if someone (Don't mean to be rude, but hopefully Suprra_Girl, or theWeezL) could write a somewhat descriptive post on how to do the process. You don't have to say the MAJOR common sense things...but just a quick how-to on it.

Another question too....is it possible to re-torque the head bolts, and somewhat re-seal the headgasket? I was thinking that logically it makes sense, you sandwich something more, and it makes things harder to pass through. It is what...September now, and I kinda NEED my supra engine to run till spring....I would have about $200 to spend on the car inbetween those times. I have another 7M-GTE engine(Complete)...which I am going to rebuild over the winter to a 450RWHP engine...dropping it into my supra in the spring!

I just don't want to have to park my baby, and have my MOTHER drive me to work (I am 19....and yes, I still live at home!)
