This is a real simple operation and does not require alot of specialty items. You WILL need a torque wrench and normal assortment of tools. I wont list step by step for two reasons. First you already did the chain, so you are familiar with the engine. second not enough room. Couple of key points; do not remove intake/efi leave it att to the head. disconnect exhaust, pull efi harnesss from computer and through firewall and lay over engine leave as many vacuum hoses attatched and just unbolt vacuum switching valves to lay over intake manifold. So in short disconnect exhaust, harness, drain coolant pull valve cover, head bolts, (DONT FORGET THE LITTLE 12MM BOLT IN FRONT OF CAM GEAR INTO TIMING COVER) pull the cam gear and distributor drive and pull the head. Maybe over simplified but There are tougher jobs on these trucks like getting the rust to stop
