anyone correct me if im wrong.....but the order doesn't matter too much, would b better to do sparks after gaskets or you will b taking them off again and when you do number the leads! coolant and flush will be done after the head as well, as you need to drain the cooiling system when doing it. Thermostat you need to disconnect when doign head so replace when doing it. Probs easier with the engine left in or it's just more hassle. i havn't done a head gasket change before but i think mine may need doing (need to have a proper looky) so been reading about it. Hope that helps and as i said if im wrong with anything some correct me! =D
