Hi Steve,
Pulling the motor will be the most likely way to do the work successfully but will of course be the most work overall...but maybe only slightly. I've done this both ways. Doing it with the engine in the vehicle will be messy, irritating, difficult and it may still leak when you've finished. Doing the work with the engine removed will be slightly less messy, also at times irritating, not really as difficult and it may still leak when you've finished. Tough job either way but at least the weather in Perth right now is perfect for this. Good luck! I'd get the Best Gasket rope seal. You probably have better luck with it.
