V engines have 2 heads. In-line engines only have one. Every engine platform is different, so get some shop manual literature before you even start and read through the entire process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/diagram-showing-the-location-of-the-cylinder-head-1024x667.jpg\" alt=\"diagram showing the location of the cylinder head\" class=\"wp-image-95162\" width=\"1024\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/diagram-showing-the-location-of-the-cylinder-head-1024x667.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/diagram-showing-the-location-of-the-cylinder-head-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/diagram-showing-the-location-of-the-cylinder-head-768x500.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/diagram-showing-the-location-of-the-cylinder-head-150x98.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/diagram-showing-the-location-of-the-cylinder-head.jpg 1119w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Diagram showing the location of the cylinder head | Image Source: Richard McCuistian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, remove the engine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/intake-manifold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"intake\">intake<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/exhaust-manifold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"exhaust manifolds\">exhaust manifolds<\/a> using a ratchet or a wrench to separate them from the cylinder head.
