Re: How to disassemble head
There's a tool called a valve spring compressor that... Well you can probably figure out what it does.
If you're not worried about damaging anything, you can use a socket and a mini sledge. Put the socket on top of the retainer, and give it a good pop with the sledge - the locks should pop out (repeat until they do, should only take a couple whacks). Again, this method is not designed with any salvage in mind... If you're planning on keeping your springs and/or valves, get the compressor (should be able to rent one from Advance/O'Reilly/etc.).
