It's not a really big deal. You have to take off (this is in the order I did it) Intake tubes, valve cover, rockers and pushrods, exhaust manifold, intake manifold, then unbolt the cylinder head and you're done. The most difficult part is that you can't take the intake manifold off without removing the studs that mount it to the side of the cylinder head, because there is not enough room to slide it back off the studs, there are a few things in the way. Other than that it's a breeze. I'll take a look at options for draining the fluid when I get home. Thanks for the help.
