You don't have to lower the engine, but a couple of U joint sockets would be very handy. Sorry, I can't remember which size/sizes I used.

If it's not a 10mm, it'll be a 13mm :-)

There is one bolt that is a real PITA -- others are fairly easy.

I do remember trying to get the gasket on the thermostat to stay -- and
to get a good seal on that can be tricky. DON'T over tighten,
the last thing you want to do is mess with extraction tools in such a tight confined area.
