i did that job on our 85 900s this past fall. i think the thing that makes it more doable is if you can do it on your own terms. i was fortunate in that we didn't need the car to get to work or wherever. i was able to work on it when i felt like it and when things went bad i would just quit for the night. it is a tremendous feeling of accomplishment when you fire up and all is well. even when you accidently break an injector line and gas is shooting across the engine the first time you start up. make sure you have a bentley manual and also rely on jeffs website, very helpful. i also took masking tape and a sharpie pen and marked all the wires that you remove. they dont always fall back to their old resting place. in my case i had nothing to lose. the car wasn't worth a large garage bill and if the job didn't turn out i would only be out the cost of a gasket kit. start out by picking some a the tools you will need and dont have at this time. in my case it was a torque wrench and some metric sockets and wrenches. i bought a 1/2" drive torque wrench at a liquidator place for like $25.oo. good luck and enjoy the challenge.
