    to do yourself? fairly tough, seems like one of those things that is a lot easier once youve done it a time or two, but there are def plenty of things that can go wrong, like dropping lifters and stuff. Gotta pull the radiator and accessories.

    theres also the supporting parts to consider, head blots, gaskets, lifters, pushrods, most people do the timing chain and oil pump while theyre at it.

    It could be easily done with proper tools. I took my time with mine and made sure I got all the tools and parts that I needed to complete the task.

    It was fairly rewarding once I was done and nothing broke.
