If its your first time taking it apart, i would definitly take pictures and make sure to label everything. Im awaiting funds to buy a steam pipe cause my banjo bolt threads were causing a leak, then i will see where im at and if i successfully completed the headgasket swap. If i can do it, you can do it too, just take your time and do your research.. Thanks to everyone on here to for the help

This was caused by a blown head gasket.
Basically $500 later the head was good as new.
Basically, welded head, one new valve, one new seat, one new guide, milled .013 to clean it up after it was welded.
Hopefully yours will not be that bad. Mine was not leaking water it was blown between #2 and #4 exhaust. Sounded like a huge miss!
Block checked out fine, just removed some of the Aluminum that was on it.
