Default removing engine from 4x4 cossie?

is it harder than a 2wd? to remove?

ive goto take head off to do my headgasket but thinking i might aswell do my clutch aswell but wondering is it worth taking head off first then taking bottom end out or just take whole lot out in one?

ive done a fair amount of rst turbos but never took one out off a cossie?

Is your clutch that bad? I wouldnt take the engine out to do a head gasket, far easier just taking the head of


If however your going to do it anyway, if you have an engine lifter then all it one, but the heads coming of anyway so i suppose it doesnt really matter
