Anyone know how hard it is to replace the intake ad exhaust cam gaskets?,I have an oil leak in the back lower.
Gasket set is about $25.

Yeah,I plan on havin a friend help me this weekend,the way the Chiltons explains it it seems the intake would be harder,more stuff to take off,the oil leak isn't as bad now since we fixed the O -ring on the oil dipstick tube.

That little o-ring can suck my left nut. My 02 eats them on a regular basis. They are both about the same to do as far as complexity. Both were leaking on my 98 so I took care of that this past weekend, did the HG as well while I was in there. This would also be a good time to check and see if your water pump needs replaced.
