Default Head gasket write up

Does anyone have a complete write up on the R&R of the head gaskets? Pictures and torque down specs if possible. Thank you!

It might be useful if you shared what engine you're planning to do this on. You haven't filled out your profile info.

My apologies, I’m still new in trying to navigate forums and post and edit. It is a 2008 Wrangler X. 3.8L. I started doing the intake manifold on Monday and was all set to put the valley pan in last night. I was doing one final sweep of the lifters to make sure nothing fell down inside and noticed that my LH head has dashes of coolant where the block and head meet. I decided to just go ahead and pull the heads and replace everything since I was this close. Hopefully you have some
insite as to the procedures for installing. Thank you.

Not me personally, but you might give this video a look-see ...
