well i had the chance to take it off and on 2 times because i put the gasket on backwards !!! MAKE SURE YOU PUT IT ON CORRECT !! LOL but it wasnt to hard ... the hardest part was getting to the bolts on the bottom because the mount on the back that helps hold the manifold up is hard to work around but other than that it is fairily easy to take out and put back in.

Line them up with the coolant passages. As Josh found out the gaskets are not reversable.

It is kind of a pain, there are two 14mm bolts under the manifold that are pretty hard to get to. The rest are 12mm some are very hard to reach, some of them require almost sitting in the engine when trying to remove them. Its very possible though.
