Head gasket is leaking 2001 Lesabre

Wow this car is really a lemon. I think I'm going to call it Windows Vista.

I think I have had every major problem you can think of with this darn car. I still love it though. lol

Anyway I have a head gasket leak. I could get a garage to do the job for 1500 bucks but I'm wondering if I should do it instead.

I can do without the car until May so I could work on it in my garage in my spare time.

I have a haynes manual and it gives me a little detail on what needs to be done but I would like a better tutorial than that if anyone has one.

My second concern is do I need to take the engine out or can I do the job with the engine in the car?

I have never done a job this big but I am willing to try. If I fail or give up in frustration I could get it towed.

Anyhow any help on this would be benifical and appreciated. If you think doing it myself would be foolish or unwise for any reason I would like input into that as well. I don't mind working on my car but I admit I have never taken apart half an engine before.
