hmm dont know off top of my head... one of the things havn't even thought about replacing on the Essex conti's... but lets see.. of course the exhaust will have to come out (at least the y-pipe), and if the gasket change requires removal of the front cover of the engine (timing cover), you probably gonna have to yank the engine. may run into a similar problem on the back side of the engine too (flywheel/transaxle area).. and not sure if the transaxle covers any part of the oil pan on the passenger side of car
but hey, you dont have a K member to deal with!
