Head Gasket Job

I'm planning to replace the headgaskets on a 1994 900 SE V6. If anyone
has any experience with this job--or substantial work on the V6 engine in
general--please let me know (on or off list). I would really appreciate
any tips or warnings that anyone can share.

We know what caused the problem originally and are aware that damage to
the entire cylinder head is possible. I am equipped with the official
SAAB 'basic engine manual' (for B258 V6 2.5L). I also have the parts
quick reference guide, and a Haynes manual (which doesn't cover the V6
engine), an itemized dealer estimate of the job, and a father with many
years of mechanical experience, including big repair jobs.

Thanks in advance. If no one has any tips, I'll try to post after the
job is completed. We will begin work in a couple months.
