Answer:
Keep everything clean. Drain the coolant before. Change the oil and filter afterwards.

You need quality sockets and a breaker bar to loosen the head bolts. I used Craftsman impact sockets after cracking (and Sears replacing) several regular Craftsman sockets.

The cam - crank alignment is CRITICAL. Make sure that you align it exactly as it was before.

As you’re taking the head off, it is a good time to replace the timing belt/chain, and have a valve job done.
