head gasket

I'm going to have to change my passenger side head gasket on my 2000 Explorer 4.0. I was just looking for any heads up or tricks I need to know before I do it a month from now.

Do both side while you have it open, do any head work while they are off.

If it is an OHC do the timing chain casettes.
