Eaiser than a pinto, just doing it twice.
Its only like two siamesed OHV engines, no belt or valve timing involved in head gasket job
Range Rover Blues:
Depending on engine, one is easy and the other harder as it's got the alternator bracket bolted to it, this little detail accounts for an extra few hours in my experience as the older the car gets the more problems dismantling it entails.
Good new is you can't screw up the timing.
Check your heads don't need skimming though, or skim them anyway and fit composite gaskets. The later heads had smaller combustion chambers to acount for the gasket thickness which is 0.5mm tin and 1.2mm composite.
You can tell it it's been skimmed already because there is a small hole drilled in the front face of the RH head, on a small sqaure sticky out bit. If it's closer to the bottom face than the side it's been skimed.
