Anyone know how hard these things are to install on a late 80's model camero.  Got suckerd into it by my cousin.  Just wanting to know how big a sh!tstorm I got myself involved in...

What engine?  What ever engine it is, you're in for a shitty time, those engines are shoehorned in that space for the most part and are hard to work on.  (Unless I'm thinking of the post 94 f body?)

Bow out gracefully, he's only a cousin. [;)]

Looks like you blew a seal.

No No - it's just ice cream.

Its pretty easy on a late model mustang. I cant believe the engine compartment would be any more cramped in a 80's camaro.  Worst part would be if the engine is dirty and the bolts caked with rust and crud.

I thought the head gasket was the woman's lips.

Late 80's camaros have very little room between the aprons, and the engine. If it's a V8 car, slowly back away, or come up sick or something, it's a pain in the ass! I use to work on those things, and even a simple task like changing the spark plugs was nearly impossible. So you're shitstorm, just turned into a tornado of feces!

Thanks for the advise, I ran far far away from that mess.  I am thinking about faking my own death just to be on the safe side.
