Gravy.

Man, starters on the four-pots are EASY! Wait 'til you have to R+R one on a 5 cyl. turbo!

Good luck, amigo! Lots of starter info on here. Everyone has their own technique, and I don't know a single individual who has failed, ultimately, in their attempt. Not fun, but doable. After you've done a couple five or six, it's really pretty straightforward. What they, in the industry, call "gravy money". A job that pays, what, 2.5 hours? Takes all of about an hour, or less, with the correct tool setup.
