I don't have a Quad 4, I just have the standard Tech 4 engine but I replaced the head on my engine (Cutlass Calais 1988 2.5L L4) and I'm not a super mechanic. I bought the Haynes manual at Autozone and it was pretty helpful. In fact I learned some things that I'm sure no one would have told me that were crucial from the book such as, I had to buy new head bolts and replace them because the bolts that are used are called "stretch bolts" and are only good for use, once. Take a look at one. They will let you open it and browse the book. If you are good at mechanics at all, you can do it!
