ILUVMILS,

Thanks again. I really appreciate your advice. I'm already about 1/2 of the way. Hope you don't mind, but I have couple questions for you:
* what size/type socket/bit are the head bolts? I don't have anything with that many points. Not a problem, as I can run out later and get what I need. Just wanted to make sure to get the right thing.
* I'm going to break the two bolts holding each 1/2 of the manifold (cylinder 1-3 / cylinder 4-6). And will pull the head with the exhaust manifolds in place. Looks a bit daunting to remove all the manifold-to-head nuts. Does this sound good?
* Intake side -- Looks pretty straight forward. I moved the wiring harness out of the way, and am about to disconnect the fuel rail. Should I not do this? (taking all precautions, of course, to make sure the fuel system doesn't try and charge) Or, should I simply unbolt the intake manifold and leave the fuel rail in place?

From there, it looks really straightforward. Again, THANKS. I definitely want to do this right.
