I hope you are not serious. If you would have read up at all on a rotary engine you would know that they do not have a traditional head gasket like in a piston engine. There are coolant seals but it is not something that is as easily replaced as on a piston engine.

For startes if you read a bit of the information in the faq section. and Use the Search button, then alot of asnwer will be answered.

Also i recommened looking at

rotaryillustrated . com I believe. Not sure google her .

Great explanation on the topic.

If you are serious about your car , you will have to read a bit about the motors.

So... why do you need new, and I quote, "head gaskets", if you don't need them yet?

And if it's your favorite car, why didn't you know it had a rotary engine?

well, your going the wrong way w/ your learning methods...... try looking in a place that gives in depth explanations of fcs.......

you might as well ask how to replace the radiator hose on a volkswagon beetle!

Don't forget to get the three angle valve job since you are pulling your head. Insist on new valve guide seals or you'll be sorry down the road.

Don't belive those jokers about blinker fluid. The blinker fluid is only used on models earlier than the S5 models. It used the same reservoir as the cold assist start system (antifreeze)

There are no head gaskets, blinker fluid, valves that need angles, etc.
