Basic instructions (not complete, but the big stuff)...
Drain coolant.
Remove intake manifold
Remove exhaust manifold
Remove valve cover.
Remove head bolts.
Remove head.

When you put it back together, you have to use new head bolts. They are "torque to yield", which means that they stretch during installation, and can't be re-used.

The head bolts are one of the reasons it might of blown the head gasket. when I first rebuilt the motor I made the mistake of not replacing them. I had an old mechanic friend help me do the work.
