Answer 1

It not that hard. You may need to move wires and stuff, if you need to disconnect stuff use some masking tape to number where they go. 1 to 1, 2 to 2 then you not get confused where something went. You will need to remove the timing cover and belt, sometimes it spring loaded like a Serpentine Belt on the Alternator. Remove the Valve cover and then Head Bolts. You may need to remover the Distributor if it have one. You need to pay close attention to positions of timing stuff and mark it or take a digital picture. Get the engine on Top Dead Center first, this when the timing mark on the big belt pulley on Zero of the Gage. Also, many car you need to replace the Head Bolts with new if they were designed to stretch when Torqued down. This about all I can offer, not knowing the car specific. It really not that hard. Get a Repair Manual too, Autozone they like $15. Money well spent to keep you from missing something important.
