My 95 GT is about to hit 200k and I thought I would do some preventative maintenance especially since I have no idea if the timing belt has ever been changed. Should I change the headgasket while im in there? I have no idications of there being a bad HG. Im gonna purchase a compression test kit and test the compression while im in there.

I have seen Azian Advanced thread on his replacement. However, I have a question relating to the timing. I have done a timing and head replacement job on a Neon before, but it was SOHC and all the timing marks were where they were suppose to be. I have also attempted to do a headgasket on a Sentra and that went horribly wrong. I had marked the 2 cam sprockets on the Sentra, but the sentra has this variable oil pressure timing sprocket....which turns and that messed up the position of the cams. If anything like that happens...once I get the engine to TDC how do I set the timing for the cams if there are no marks on the sprockets?

Anything else I should get done while im in there?
