John/Horace, thank you,
Well, its on the left bank, so at the front of the engine compartment, and if i take off the timing pulley, all the intake parts, and the cam followers, if should be able to slide the cam out enough to get past the timing belt/water pump housing and lift the head off. I dont see anywhere in pics and diagrams where the head would be attached underneath the cam sooo?♂️ the engine has 191,000 miles on it.
