I have to pull a head I bent some pushrods a little over a week ago and while checking them out I was running out of daylight so I put the valve covers back on. While doing so I was snugging down the valve cover bolts ( 98 LS1 perimeter bolts ) and two of them snapped on me and you got it, they are the 2 in the back on the drivers side near the power brake booster ( 91 Z28 car ). I really don't have much room to drill the bolts and use a easy out on them and it is going to make a mess with metal chips any way and I definately don't want them in the heads. So, I have to pull the head. So besides doing the obvious like unbolting the exhaust manifold and getting that out of the way what else do I have to do to remove the head ? I am guessing I have to unplug all the injectors and remove the intake as well ? Any help would be appreciated and torque values once I get the head back. Also, will I need new head bolts ?

Time for new heads. If you have to pull them you should get new ones. If you are on a budget, stock LS6 243 castings can be had cheap and would produce a good amount of hp over the 806 heads.
