Take some pictures if you can while you are taking it apart. That way if you forget where something goes you have something to reference.

Other than that keep everything as clean as you can and try to keep track of where everything goes!

Good luck!

got my camera all set. keeping everything clean is a good tip, thanks....just not sure where to start! the exhaust manifold is pretty straight foward but the intake is going to be a challenge I think....learn as I go I guess....

yea taking it apart is the easy part for sure. You'll quickly figure out just what exactly you have to remove to get the head off. Just try not to take off stuff that you don't have to.

Make sure that you clean all the gasket surfaces good before you start reassembly. You don't want any leaks when you are done so an extra couple minutes goes a long way there.
