how easy a job is it.
should i do the inlet manifold gasket aswell as there is some oil seeping out of the front one.

You will need the inlet seals and make sure the engine is HOT before you remove the plugs.

They are very straight forward. Just make sure the engine is hot.

cable tie the fan blade up and let the temp go up to over 100 gently loosen the plugs i seen me take 8 hours to do 5 plugs but at least they didnt break
