It depends on whether or not you are handy with tools and car work. Sounds like you've dug into the car a little, so not too much of a problem. Should take a couple of hours of fiddling if you are car handy, half a day if you are not. You will need allen wrenches and a torque wrench, among other basic tools.

The front head is easy access, and the cam cover comes off with little effort. The rear head access is more difficult, and you will have to first remove the air collector box atop it, with or without the throttle body. The clamps which hold the rubber intake sleeves going to the collector box can be loosened using a Sears tool, and the box slipped back from the sleeves after the appropriate bolts are removed. The chromed intake ducts and the rubber sleeves do not need to be removed. The cam cover can then be removed with a little effort.

The tricky parts are reinstalling the rear cam cover and then the collector box, as you have to get everything lined up again, esp the gasket.

The head nuts can be loosened (about a complete turn), oiled, and tightened one at a time, torqued to about 78 lb-ft in a crisscross pattern starting from the center nuts working alternately outward to the ends of the head. Personally, I took my 91S to about 80, but many don't like it that high. Worked for me.

Do not overtorque any of the bolts for the airbox and cam covers. They take very little, relatively speaking. I would start at hand snug tight for those bolts. Then go back and torque them to ~6-7 lb-ft.

good luck,
