Just an update. Did the work yesterday, and really not a bad job at all. The youtube video is incredibly helpful and covers most everything you'll need to know. If I were to do it again though, I'd probably have drained a bit of coolant, and emptied out the oil filter reservoir as much as possible. You lose a decent amount of both when pulling this thing apart, and it makes a mess. I ended up getting a tiny amount of oil in the coolant system which I didn't notice til I topped it up and bled the system. Saw a few brown spots floating on top in the reservoir. So i'll probably change out the coolant as a precaution. Definitely not an $800 job. Took me about 2 hours, and that's probably because I went a little crazy with the cleaning everything up after pulling it apart.
