just brought this up a page
go ahead and pull plugs and see if everything is going up and down the same amount...if it is go ahead and start taking it apart...only thing you really need to keep track of it the push rods...loosen the bolts that hold the entire rocker assembly down so the push rods are loose...then find a piece of cardboard and poke holes in it to keep push rods in order...they wear different so it does make a difference where they go on re assembly.
wouldnt hurt to keep track of head bolts too...some may be longer than others or made different.
if i remember rite the manifolds dont have to come off but it may be easier than getting exhaust pipe loose.
this should keep ya busy awhile...just take your time and dont force anything...if head doesnt come off easy just screw plugs back in and spin engine over...compression will pop it off.
