Youtube has some great clips from UK shows. I always look in there before I tackle any job, that way I can determin if I have the skills and patients to do the job.

Hi Ted,
If you get a manual it is pretty straight forward, just follow the steps, undo the head bolts in order and do them up as instructed, a couple of the bolts near the bulkhead area bit if a nuisance with the head of the angle gauge but it is OK.
I use Elring gaskets they seem to be the best in my opinion, cleanliness is next to godliness, make sure everything is clean before you put things back together.
Get the right head gasket, 1 hole, 2 hole etc etc As mentioned you tube is a great resource.
You'll most likely need to replace all the head bolts as they apparently become fatigued over time and can't be loaded to the required torques. Good advice guys, and I'll also take it as mine 300 is also at 230,000kms. Good luck on the trip, wanna do it myself soon.
Hah, had a Hyundai salesman telling me the other day that Landy's had all sorts of motor and gearbox problems - had to put him straight, I did :D
