Blown head gasket?

Thanks guys you have been a big help. I cant get the head bolts loose and I am afraid I will strip out the head of the bolts. Is there a trick? Do all the lines have names? lol. They seem to be specific angles and everything.

It takes a lot of muscle to get them out. You wont strip them. Just use the 10mm hex head and make sure its in there good and start loosening. You'll be tired by the 5th or 6th one. By the 3rd one I was dripping sweat. But thats only because i didnt have a breaker bar. And use craftsman tools to get them out so if u mess it up u can take it back and get another one. I broke the ratcheting mechanism on one trying to get them off.

Ok the hex bolts on the top of the head in the middle right? I only saw like 4. This car is confusing the crap out of me.

They are all over the place. Lol. Just run a flashlight by the cams on the inside part of both cams. You'll need to rotate the cams to get to 1 on each side. Just take an adjustable wrench and look for the part that is squared off a little and turn it a bit.
