This is not a one day operation. The top cover is glued to the head, the glue acting as a gasket which must be cleaned off with alcohol, and then the cams fall out! Then the intake manifold and exhaust manifold come off before you remove the headbolts.

After removal, the head needs to be 'leveled' by a machine shop. Any valves to be replaced should be seated by same shop, not a DIY option.

Putting it back together is a chore. New head bolts, please! You can make your own special tools to hold down the cams so the cover can be glued back on.

The Haynes 850 manual has a 'good' writup for doing this for the 5 cyl engine. Just go to the local library and look at it.
