1) 1st of all it's a tubular exhaust manifold, headers are reserved for NA's.
2) It would behoove you to study the manual and do research before getting into a project of this magnitude.
3) Lable and bag bolts. Hoses as well. Attention to detail is important.
4) When your head is ready to come off, don't forget about the vacuum lines connected to the VSV on the bottom of the lower half of the intake manifold.
5) There's also a ground strap also connected to the back of the head that can be easily over looked when the head is ready to be removed.
6) Be prepared to replace gaskets that are not included with a "Head Gasket Set".
7) Be prepared to buy Toyota preformed hoses.
8) When you start reassembly, it would be wise to also put the EGR Valve on when you reinstall the lower half of the intake manifold.
9) Use antiseize on exhaust bolts.
