BTDT on an I4 diesel.  Not something I'd enjoy doing again, but at least
my friend and I didn't have to spend too much time lying on the ground to
do it.  The biggest pain was having to crawl under there to remove the
left engine mount, intake, and exhaust.  All told it wasn't a complicated
job, just a lot of work.  And at no point did I have to worry about
putting a cylinder sleeve off by accident. ;)
