    Do you have a bently? If not, I would suggest buying one. You will need it for more than just this job.

        BUMP, picked up a Bentley... how much time should a newb expect to spend on a job like this..... 1 to 12 weeks? LOL

        More importantly...
        What special tools will I be needing?

          Just swapping the head is about 4 hour job with it pre-drained and all bolts like the exhaust manifold nuts hit with a decent amount of PB Blaster or like substances the night before allowing it to soak in.

          32 MM wrench for Fan Clutch, depending on head internal Torx sockets. It's not a hard job just make sure you have all the gaskets and a new belt, as well as a water pump and thermostat and seal plus coolant while you are ahead.
