mark all req. vacume lines, remover exh. manifold, remove intake man.dump water/coolant from entire engine, might have to remove radiator to get to screws on timing cover, remove them, take off rocker cover, mark pullys/belt/crank/cam location(or zip tie everything in place) remove headbolts, head MAY require a love tap to 'break the seal' and SHOULD come off relatively easy.. pretty much it.. someone will chip in if i forgot anything im sure...
suggestion: Get a cardboard box and mark one end as FRONT, when removing bolts from head etc puncture cardboard with a screwdirver and insert bolts into cardboard as they are removed. . front left, rear right yada yada yada.
just hope THIS doesnt happen...
Was worth it but.....
