Yea, i read that also. Hayne's make you do everything the "Proper" way. It tells you to disconnect the battery for almost everything but honestly who does?

thats what i figured, i didnt see why i would neeed to. so then its pretty straight foward all i need to do is take it off clean it properly and put the rtv sealent on the four coners and and lay the new gasket in along with the spark plug one and bolt it down in the proper order? is that right or am i missing something?
