Heads Removal - C5 Corvette Build - P9

Today I’ll be working on removing the heads which requires the removal of the valve covers, rocker arms, push rods and lifters on my 2003 Corvette. At this point the valve covers are off and I’ve started removing the rocker arms. The rocker arms are torqued down tight so be ready to wrestle with them. I stored each rocker arm and push rod in its own zip-lock bag and numbered them from 1 to 16 starting from the driver side rear (1) and working my way to the driver side front (8) and then moving over to the passenger side front (9) and working my way towards the rear (16). The passenger side head is off. Took a breaker bar to get the head bolts lose. The top 5 are 10 mm bolts. The internal 5 are 15 mm bolts. The one first and fifth ones are smaller than the rest of the remaining bolts. The five bolts beneath the valve cover are also 15mm. There was also a clip that was disconnected in the back to remove the head completely. Then I proceeded to remove the lifters which are held by two 10mm bolts. I pulled all 8 lifters with the lifter retainer cups attached. For the driver side head, there are two bolts attached to the rear. The first one closest to the driver side fender is a 15mm bolt; it’s attached to a ground. The next one is a 13mm bolt and is attached to the air tube bracket. I just loosened that one and the bracket slipped out. At this point I removed the air tube completely. Unfortunately, the power steering pump/alternator bracket is attached to the front of the head so that had to be removed as well. It was only attached to two more bolts. Once the power steering reservoir was removed, by disconnecting two hoses, I was able to reach one of the bolts in the back effortlessly. The same process goes in removing the bolts from the driver side: 5 small ones up top, 2 short ones inside the head at position 1 and 5, and the rest are long. Once the head was off, I removed the lifter retainer cups and lifters. Again, the lifter retainer cups are just held in place by two 10mm bolts. The section where the lifters go has been taped off so that no debris can go inside the engine.
