Ok, just to follow up. Pulling the head is whipping me

I removed the intake (broke the two hose/mount locations under the intake - will have to JB weld them back on. Had a terrible time removing the intake - the last bolt at the bottom next to the firewall is hidden by the fuel rail, or a part of the fuel rail. I'll have to go out later and get the correct socket for the head, but don't know if I'll find it on a Saturday.
Tomorrow morning, on the agenda:
* unbolt the exhaust manifolds from the head pipes
* remove the AIR pump (funny, just installed a rebuilt one three months ago) so I can get to the chain tensioner
* mark the timing chain
* loosen anything else small that I need to unbolt the head
* get the socket!
Wish me luck, guys.
