Default Leaking oil

How hard is it to change the head gaskets on an sn-95?

if you blew the gaskets from overheating its a good idea to have the heads checked for level deck.

The only thing I have done on the car is altenator which is a preschool task. The water pump and throttlebody never more. I wouldnt think it would be to hard. Anything else recommended while i'm at it? Car has 160K on it so its getting pretty worn.

like said above give yourself a day or two

most crucial part is just taking your time, and tracing vaccum lines. label stuff / take pictures.

taking it apart is easy, putting it back together right the first time is the tricky part
