its not hard, its just a little nerve-wrecking due to the fact taht if the bolt falls and makes its way into the oil pan, you have a lot more work ahead of you

I am curious about gaskets, what kind of gaskets does GM use, are they a silicone reuseable kind? Any silicone scraping involved? Did all of you guys changed your oil after the swap? My car is only going to have around 2500 miles on it when I do the swap, so I won't worry about the timing chain or oil pump. Any of you guys done this swap on a GTO, or helped with one. I am curious about the cam clearing the AC condensor in the GTO.
