Id imagin its easy like coops said. Think you need to buy new headbolts when you do it though as they stretch dont they :? You need to know the correct sequence to tighten them up as well i think. Not 100% sure like :?

ai new head bolts, and the correct settings for torquing em up are supplied with the bolts. best of doing cam belt n tensioners n all.

i did dog bone, water pump, aux belt, plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm, p/steering pump, coolant, oil and filter n all at same time!
