Basically and I mean BASICALLY you take your throttle body and related components off...then your coolant components...all of these are linked to the head if you look...then any misc. wire harnesses..then your valve cover then the 8 12mm 12pt bolts...your exhaust mani....timing stuff..cam gears, belts....then after that what I do is leave the intake mani on till i take the whole head off cause you cannot get the bottom 4 bolts..then after that use common sense if i forgot anything after that..like if u see a bolt holding it on still then take it off...good luck :thumb:

The only place fatest is goin to take you is disaster..take your time and work on your baby bro.
*disconnect battery-* dipressurise and disable fuel system*
1,Support engine from under
2,Top(belt side)Engine mount off
3,Belts off
4,Pulleys off
5,Timin belt cover off
6,Timin belt off
7,Wiring off + fuel rail off + hoses off
8,Valve Cover off
9,Now Head bolts off..dont forget suckers that hold the intake Phelemelem :D behind there.. good idea to call names as you try to loosen them
10, Lift the head off..always a good idea to climb ontop of the car and actually lift straight up..this way you lift evenly and dont scratch or nick anything..also easy to see/feel if you forgot anything still connected

What a beautiful sight :D sweet pistons get to see sunlight again..it wouldnt hurt if you kiss them..they`d love that ;)
