Default Head removal Questions

I am quite sure I can remove the head, however, I was reading a faq, and it shows something I don't really want to mess with. It has the guy showing to loosen all the valve springs? Is this right?
it was the one from lightnin motorsports BTW

What are you wanting to know? Removing the head from the block or a complete tear down of the head?

I don't know jack about DOHC heads but I know SOHC. For the SOHC, you'll need to remove the valve covers to access the 10 14mm bolts. You'll need a breaker bar and a 14mm socket.

Refer to BauleyCivic's Mini-Me write up for head removal. Better yet, go buy yourself a Helm's or FSM or equivalent

You don't need to mess with the valves or springs when pulling the head. After you re-install the head its a good idea to check your valve clearances, but you DO NOT need to touch the springs when pulling the head.
