aight i am replacing the head gasket on my 89 CRX and i got the valve cover off along with the exhaust manifold and everything... i cant seem to get the head off...do i take out everything like the cam and stuff before i unbolt it or should i just unbolt it as is... and another thing... do i have to take off the intake manifold? thanks

:wtf:
 
i'm pretty sure you need to take the cams out and you dont need to take the IM off.
i took my cams out when i did it, but i was also replacing my valve springs/retainers...
 
dude, you are going to have to take off the IM bracket because it bolts onto both the head and the block. just the bracket though. idk about d-series, but for my b16 i had to take out the cams to take out the head bolts. its pretty easy, just follow the right unbolting sequence or you'll warp the head and the cam.
