The pan gasket will be a challenge. I doubt it can be harder than doing in car timing chains on a GM 3.6L transverse engine. It took me three months on that job. I took my time and replaced a lot of parts at the same time. Our Acadia rides like a champ. It can take anywhere with 175k miles on it. Hopefully my notes and parts list is complete. I'll post pictures next week. Working on it July 6th-8th.
