Maybe, but it would be a guess cause you did NOT post in the correct vehicle category. No way to know what year, make, and model you are referring to.

See if you can find a service manual or get a Haynes or Chilton manual at your local auto parts store. It will outline the correct removal and head replacement procedure.
