How hard is it to repair blown head gasket on a S reg MGF

I have had quotes from garages of £1000.

But what are the difficulties of doing it yourself.

Does the engine have to be dropped out

pain in the arse mate ! Kseries engine but its set down lower inside the
engine bay, you'll end up with bloody backache, you need to determin wether
it has variable valve timing, if it has then you've got "problems" as it has
two belts normal timing belt & a rear belt for the VVT unit, the cams need
to be set up up correctly. If its the normal bog standard K series, then no
problem.
