My first major thing mechanical I did on a engine was replace a cylinder head on a 2L diesel

My tip is

Get a factory service manual for your engine, read it three times and proceed

I had the head off and new one on in approx 6 hrs taking my time, did it quicker the 2nd time 3 or 4 hrs (blown head gasket)
