Swapping heads, including refurbing of originals should take you a long day if you have done that level of job before, 2 days if it's your first time.  As said, it is fairly straight forward.  While the heads are off it is advisable to take the breather box off and clean as well as checking the rear pipe you mentioned in the OP.  They are fantastically accessible once the heads are off, especially if you aren't some lithe lanky streak of piss with tiny hands and you find getting your bear paws around the back a little challenging ;D

I cannot think to whom you may be referring. ::) ::) ::)

Mine has a small coolant leak at the back ob engine too :-X and I always thought it could be only coolant transfer pipe the reason for that.

Now, after reading this...I'm to afraid to even take a good look where exactly the leak is :-X
2.5's not normally affected, only MFL 3.0l

Sadly the 2.5 of that era was also affected as that's what mine was.  :y
Well now I am doing the HGs and strangely enough enjoying the hole experience ??? hopefully this is going to be resolved once and for all :)
