Default Replacing Head gasket;any guide/pic?

I'm looking for a DIY guide with pics to change my head gasket. I did it last summer with www.ls1howto.com but the site is down. I have a couple of GMhigh tech mags that could help me, but its not very complete.

I could do it all by myself but I just wanna save some time with nice advices.

Any link or idea?

Feel free to write me any random comments or advices on the job. I could take some pics and make a small guide after..

Why are you changing your head gaskets every year?

It leaks and idk why. I think my heads are the cause but I'm not sure. The car smells coolant since I have it.

Anyway, the ''cache'' link for ls1howto works so I'll be alright.

when you get them pulled off look for any gouges in the head and block mating surfaces. then use a straightedge to check for flatness. that's weird you're changing head gaskets so often
