Mine wasn't bad at all. The exhaust bolts weren't a problem as the engine had been rebuilt just prior to my buying the van, but I gather that this is the real trouble spot. Once the engine tin is out of the way, the left-hand head was kind of tight, but I was able to get it out without even touching the pushrod tube. Felt good knowing the entire system was flushed. Good luck!
