uh yeah you need to pull it from the top but a lot can be done from the bottom. it takes me around thirty minutes. but i do have the air pump, stock intake and emissions removed which helps. it pretty straight forward.

well, I guess people do not include the time to drain oil and coolant....
remember that it's its first time, there are quite a lot of things to look at if the car id completely stock...
do not forget also that those downpipe nuts are so stubborn and difficult tu reach
so estimate an afternoon if you are not well equipped and non experienced

The first time I did it, it took about 2 hours to get it out, but I've got all the emissions stuff, and was really cautious since I kind of suck at working on cars. I've done it twice since then and now I'm down to about 45 minutes to have it on the bench.

the gasket for the water line has alway given me trouble. i think mazdatrix has all the gaskets you would need for that project for a lower price. youre not talking about the manifold gaskets are you? those WILL be fine.
