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.

Subject: 81 Westy head removal, advice?
Is it possible to remove the drivers side head on my 81 Westy (80 Vanagon)
without pulling the engine? Will I run into major problems reinstalling the
head/gaskets etc... ?
