What a PITA though to pull the heads! It only appears to be leaking on the driver side head (I don't have a cross-over in my dual exhaust), but I will probably replace both head gaskets while I'm in there since I put them in at the same time about 10 year ago.
Would it be any easier to pull the front clip off, doesnt seem like alot of unbolting for the access you would gain. Gotta be a struggle to lift them over a fender on a lifted truck...maybe not, just a thought!

I feel your pain
