Looks like a good example, although I'd bet you can replace it without removing anything but the turbo supply line from the flange. If you can reach yer paw in there. I tested it out and I was able to touch both studs. If I can touch them I can get a mini ratchet or wrench on them. I'd pack the o-ring recess on both the head and flange and oring surface with oring grease to give it a protective layer from atmosphere, oil, ozone. Also check and replace the heater core quick connect coupler that attaches at the bottom. They crack and fail.
