Best advice is take your time and take pictures if needed to remember how to put it all back together.

Haven’t done this myself, but general rule of thumb.

Good luck and wish you success!

My best advice, is to remove and replace one head bolt at a time, to preserve the clamping force exerted on the head. Also remember to torque everything back down in stages.

To state the obvious, make sure you drain the coolant first.

Also, using a reputable cam locking tool can be the difference between this being a satisfying DIY and a complete cluster of a situation.
