any tips or tricks?

Do I have to remove the exhaust manifold off of the head to remove the head? or can I leave on there, pull the head and then remove it?

Unfortunately those nuts tend to rust on. Plenty of oil and a tight 6 point socket. If you don't round off the edges on the nut then you just have to keep applying pressure until you either get the nut loose or the stud comes out or the nut breaks off. You have to loosen the bolt that holds the down pipe to the bracket on the bell housing like suppra_girl said. You may have to loosen the nuts on the manifold to get it to move out and get you more room to those three nuts.

If all else fails you can unbolt the cat converter from the front end and take the manifold bolts off and pull that part of the exhuast out of the car. The will give the the option of using a torch on the nuts and get them off that way.

Good luck and keep us informed.

Also any tips on how to get the oil line nuts off? the ones under the turbo with the huge tube....

Thanks all for your help

use a ratchet and socket and remove the 2 10mm nuts off the oil drain on the block... you should have access with the tools from the engine bay top side

so basically have the ratchet horizontal to the oil drain nuts and you should be able to remove it

Sounds like a good idea,

I finally got the head off and I could tell that it was a gasket failure. I also could tell that the Number 6 cylinder has never fired in the whole engines life, if it has then not enough to show up. I think who ever built this engine was an idiot and did not know what they were doing. Everthing looks good but do you guys think I should hone the cylinders and put new rings in it? All there is, is flash rust on the cylinders and it wipes right off, there also is no ring grooves on the cylinders so i dont think this engine has ran much at all, but there is carbon build up on the top of the pistons and the head.

Two words.........new engine. It sounds like you'll be spending the same amount as you would to buy a new one.
