Ok...i somehow agreed to change a timing belt and a head gasket on a 93 nissan pickup... never done one of these on a nissan before...anything i need to look for or not do?

i really gotta stop agreeing to do these things....

Checkout www.4x4parts.com and do a search. There is alot of help available there. Good luck.
Friends like you are getting hard to find.

Make sure you have good book (Shop Manual or at least Chilton's, stay away from Hayness crap)
Back when I did mine, the new belt - compliments of Lordco - had its marks painted backwards. I was lucky I didn't bend my valves or something. Make sure you count the teeth and all that.
Other than that it's all easy, just a regular PITA.
