Does anyone know where to find the dash clips by the windshield for the dash? ALready broken two trying to get them loose to remove dash and replace heater core. Pushing in the center with an allen wrench to release is not working. Trying to figure out how this clip works. No matter, I need to buy a...

Update! I pulled all the plugs (also to check and make sure their cavities were not full of oil). All plugs nice and dry and tan, perfect combustion. Jacked the car up and it is leaking!

I have pulled apart my 1996 Volvo 960 to replace the head gasket. I am looking at several different instructions for re-installation.
