You *can* do it, but it is FAR easier to pull the motor. The 2.0 doesn't really have head gaskets in the sense of most motors...only some thin metal rings at the top of the cylinder. You could put them on in a dark jungle thunderstorm, hanging upside-down, blindfolded, with one hand behind your back, and still do it right. Pull the motor. It's a couple of bolts, and it is SO much easier. G.
