I'm looking for a how-to on removing the head from my 2008 SS/TC with the factory 2.0 LNF engine. I have searched the forum along with google and a few facebook groups but haven't been able to find anything documenting a step by step procedure. I already have the turbo off as well as the valve cover and intake manifold... Thanks in advance!

Also, I've checked for service manuals but can't find those either, aside from sketchy sellers on eBay. Anyone have a link to one online or one that I can purchase?

 

If you have the intake manifold and turbo off, all you have left is, coolant lines, a few electrical connections, head studs, and timing chain.

 

Dont forget head bolts are torque to yield, and also there are 4 smaller bolts in timing chain area on passenger side. Its easy to miss those ones, or forget to put them back in lol. Also its a big help to have a buddy help when you lower the head back on to get it on straight without sliding the gasket.

 

Here is pdfs I printed from gm service information. Youll have to put them in order bc gm likes to use hyperlinks on our online manual. Some stuff you will not have to completely remove, just unmount and move for clearance. GM of course doesn't tell you which parts do that or not, we just have to "know" that based on warranty time.

 

Yep
