I have a leaky head gasket on my 1987 300D. The dealership quoted me at 700-800 dollars to replace it. This seems sort of absurd.

How hard of a DIY is this? Are there any special procedures or special tools for this? I realize that I'll have to remove the intake and such, but other than that, is there anything extraordinarily difficult when replacing a head gasket?

Thanks!
