There is no quick way to do it, it is all straight forward. Here is a write up I did on it:

easiest way: unbolt it

 

lol that wouldbe sweet if u could just remove a few bolts and pull it off with no problems

 

Actually, I think 3 gallons of oil in the crankcase, and 30 minutes of redline, and the head should excuse itself from the engine bay without turning a single wrench...

 

dumb question so you can put everything back together but what about not even doing a vale job woukd it be ok to just take it apart replace gaskets clean it and put it back together??

 

You can, it is not recommended though. You cannot always be sure of the condition of the head, so it is best to send it to the machine shop or get a reman, but I usually just do a good cleaning and valve job.

 

remember to prelube everything before assembly.
