[V8] Dizzy Seals

If the flanges look suspect, I'll put a light coat of hylomar.

I cleaned up the head (it was wet and gunky) today and will check it 
again on Wednesday to verify the location of the leak.  While I was back 
there, I noticed that the coolant pipe going into the head was a bit 
wet.  And there was some old RTV peeling away.  While I'm doing the 
dizzy seals, I guess I'm replacing those O-Rings.  Any BTDT's or 
Gotcha's I need to know about or is it as simple as unbolting, 
replacing, rebolting?
