Cylinder Head Question

[Macneilrider87]

well I had a check engine for misfire cylinder 6 and then decided to do a compression check. had low compression and narrowed it down to a burned valve. I've started to remove everything that I am supposed to up to the lower intake manifold. I am wondering, can I remove the left head with the lower intake manifold still attached? it just looks like the four t50 (I think) torx bolts are holding the head on to the manifold.

what do you guys recommend? I want to try to remove the least amount of things possible, BUT I don't want to ruin anything either so is this safe to leave the lower intake on and just remove the head or not recommended?

Nope! Don't even think about it again!!! Take it all apart.

it is best to take all the stuff apart that you need, then you can clean it and everything while apart. and will make it easier and you wont break anything in the process
