jflaco if you've got mechanical aptitude it's doable. PITA, yes, but so is paying someone else to do it!

get to know your car. spend some time under the hood. check the stuff i mentioned earlier. yank the intake, you're gonna have to if you're gonna get to the rear vcg. all that stuff is gonna leak downward and make a mess of the underside of the engine. the top end looked ok on ours too if you weren't sure what to look for. but like i said it poured- literally.

so do it all, do it once, and do it right and you're set.
