OK, I've got the valve cover off, and I want to separate my head from my block...
Where are the head bolts.. how many are there and and what sequence do I take them off in..? Any hewlp would be cool, thanks.

 

Ha, you have a lot more work to do. Take off the exhaust and intake manifolds, take off the timing belt, take out the bearing caps, take out the cams (you'll have to do a valve adjustment when putting them back in), the head bolts are underneath the cams.

 

yup, us DOHC'ers don't have it as easy as the SOHC guys.

but you have alot more work ahead of you.

you dont have to take off the intake manifold to get the head off...and dont completely take off your timing belt just slide it off the cam gears when the caps are removed or just loosen the tension then slide it off..

 

I'm sorry to say it man but if you have to ask that question it just sounds to me like you're way over your head but if you must know take off everything the first guy said and take it off in an up and down motion kinda like this:
