You know, there is nothing like actual experience in doing something like this. Keeping everything sorted in bags is one of the best ideas out there. Keep a clean and organized work area. Betweent the manuals and the people here you can't get much better advice, but there is nothing like having someone there who can help or lend a helping hand when disassembling and reassembling.
Of course you can't get experience unless you try something first. Tackling a head is a pretty complicated start but not impossible. Take pictures, videos and have plenty of rags. Drain everythingon the engine, water and oil. Don't disconnect the a/c hoses, nor the power steering pump hoses.
You are going to need jack stands, a jack and a nice flat surface to work on, preferrably out of the weather as this will be a several week project. Again, try to find someone who has some good engine experience. Adjusting the valves is not one for the timid, but can be quite easy once a few have been done.
There will be more comments, but get ready for a fun time and learning some new cuss words..........lol
