    if you've never done it before then I recommend you take it to a shop. I've helped in installation before but the head was off already, with that being said since the head is stayin on your ride then I would say 7/10 since you've never done it before. Check out bseries.net for some info.

    very hard if you have never done it before.

    the task itself is not that bad, but there is no room for error.

    you will need a snap on style SPring Compressor
    Air Compressor with fitting for the head, you will need to fill each cylidner with air to keep the valves up.
