if you're not under warranty why are you taking it to the dealership? They're gonna **** you sideways. Pulling the header off isn't fun, but it's not too difficult. You could probably handle a gasket change yourself and save a ton of money.

Its alot easier to remove the radiator, it adds alot more room and you dont have to worry about messin up your radiator. but then again i was taking my motor out to bore it over. haha. So i wasnt in any rush to get it back on there like you do.
