Josh,
Here is a tip for removing the head. Makes for an easy job for two people, no hoist needed.
Remove valve cover, Remove rocker arm assembly, remove head bolts. Get a 2X4, mark the centers of the two outside bolts that hold on the rocker arm assembly onto the "2" inch side of the board. Drill holes in the board. Bolt board to head.
Piece of cake to lift the head off using the 2X4.
