Check compression first to make sure the head gasket is blown. Look for coolant in the oil, if coolant is present, you may be too late. Coolant will wash the oil film off the main bearings causing metal to metal contact.
Buy a Haynes manual for the car, it will give you step by step instructions on head removal.
This is a big job, you must remove the camshafts to get to the headbolts, and everything attached to head (intake manifold, exhaust manifold, injectors, electrical connectors etc.).
Then the head must be checked to make sure it is not warped or cracked.
