It is not possible to give you what you want without writing a book. I suggest you get a good repair manual for your car and watch videos on UToob. In reality if you have to ask you are in way over your head. If you proceed anyway you will need to invest in quite a few tools. Make sure you have a machine shop check the head for warp and cracks!

This is a major repair that involves taking apart, literally, half the engine! It's not a job for a beginner! Unfortunately, gven the age of the vehicle it will cost more to fix it than it's worth. My advice is trade it in or junk it and move on. Sorry! Jim
