1.  Yup.  And fight with the rubber boot from the FI unit to the 
plenum - it just takes a little patience.  If you are replacing the 
cam cover gasket, make sure you get the new, expensive, rubber/poly 
version, not the older, cork type.  The cork ones leak in about 
20 miles, the new ones last at least 50,000+.

2.  Don't know, haven't done that,  yet....Read the archives, I seem 
to remember something there about tools for this work, , and you 
*may* want to consider doing the water pump at the same time.
