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

[Coops]

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!
