If you want to ensure you do not screw up your timing, take 2 zip ties, put 1 each on the EXACT link on the timing chain that lines up with the tooth on the sprocket with the timing mark. I used a big red one for the exhaust and a big blue one for the intake. It also helps to keep the chain from falling down into the engine block.
When I removed my head, I used a breaker bar with an extension on the socket end for the head bolts. I snapped the extension from the torque applied in a twisting fashion. I am glad I did not impale myself when it let go, on the razor sharp snapped extension. I wish I had my impact gun then.
