Did I miss the memo where we all are supposed to dangle from some Mission Impossible-like harness over the engine compartment? Or is this just par for the course?

Oh yeah......you missed the memo. Try being 6'4" tall and bending over to remove the full set of head bolts. You can't use Pete's recommended procedure because you must have two arms for that job.
Add close to 50 years of age to that lower back and.........can you say
pain??
Gives you some profound respect for those fellows who do this for a living!!
