2002 Pontiac Montana Intake Gasket Replacement

Ok, so I have a 2002 Pontiac Montana that has blow an intake gasket and dumped coolant into the oil...fun fun. I am going to fix this in the gravel garage. Does anyone have any tips, recommendations, etc before I start? Thanks.

To allow for more room, take the two dog bone mounts off up top and use a tie down strap to pull and hold the engine foreward. Pay attention to the pushrods as they are different lenghts. Have fun!
