heres a walk through hope this helps:
1. Remove the air cleaner/intake system (unless you dont want to, save yourself a few extra bucks on a new gasket, lol).
2. Remove any acessory belts yuo can get to .
3. Remove timing belt covers and valve cover and any acessories in its way.
4. Loosen the timing belt and remove it.
5. Unplug any electrical connections to the fuel rail and distributor.
6. Unhook the fuel lines from fuel rail.
7. Unhook all vac. lines. pictures are always good to have so you remember where they all go.
-You can pull the intake manifold off or leave it on.
8. Unbolt the head from the block in sequence only turning each bolt 1/4 turn at a time. this will keep the head from warping more.
9..4..1..6..7
8..5..2..3..10
-I looked around and i guess it doesnt really matter what order you do it, but i saw this order and used it.
1/4 turn for each.
-I pulled the exhaust manifold off and let it rest against the fans.
9. Pull the head towards the front of the car,
10. Take to a machine shop to check for warpage. Better safe then sorry.
-Reinstallation is the opposite. Doesn't matter when the exhaust manifold goes back on though.
-Remember that the head bolts must be done in sequence.
-Prime the fuel system and start it up. (I've also seen ppl turn the engine over by hand). I guess its to make sure nothins hitting
Hope that helps man, and also its not a bad idea to have a freind help out. =]
