This is far to much to be writing here in detail, go get a workshop manual, this will give you all the information, pic and step by step instructions, not just on the head but any work you want to do in the future.

I have been a mechanic for 40 years and I know all the basics of how to remove the head. I need the specs for repairing the head and do not want to buy a manual which is why I donated to this website. If I cannot get a better response than "buy a manual" I want my money back.

Hi Bob, we appreciated your donation and have refunded it. Some repairs are too detailed for a technician to type out. Mitchell1 online technical repair manuals detail all the steps for a complicated repair like this including diagrams and removal and replacement procedures. Subscriptions start at One Week access for under $12, you don't have to buy a whole manual, you can get what you need for as long as you need it. Once you get into the repair we will be glad to assist you in anyway we can. The Mitchell1 link is below.
