I've never rebuilt a engine in my life let alone had a head off. How hard is it to do that? Engine still idles fine has a small miss now though lol

Depends on your abilities I guess, and everything is relative. That said, pulling the head is pretty easy. Just need the cam gear pullers, and a good 3/4 drive 24mm socket. Head bolts are pretty tight. Head can be lifted with a cheap car engine hoist if you have one. It only weighs around 5-600 lbs. Storm took the power out in the middle of mine, so I finished by candlelight lol. The hardest part for me was taking the hood off, but my wife is a great helper.

You can pull the injectors and get one of these... https://amzn.to/2USLXwN
