Alessandro - I think my words may have sounded a bit harsh - but asking questions is the way to go when doing something new. The B21,23 and 230 are pretty straight forward to work on. Be sure to soak up the studs and nuts that will need removal--especially relate to the exhaust manifold. After all these years the head is likely to be "stuck" on and difficult to lift off the block. After removing all the intake and exhaust stuff, timing belt, etc. put a sturdy steel bar into one of the intake posts and use it to lever the head separate from the block. - Dave
