Volvo 4 cyl head remove

Does anyone know the correct steps to remove the head from this engine?
Has overhead cam.
Believe its a 83 model

Thanks Mike

Most of the required work involves taking the cooling system apart to get the timing belt off. Once that's off, the head is easy. You can leave the manifolds on it, if memory serves. Those engines are incredibly easy to remove from the boat too, if there's any major work to do, might be worth pulling the engine out. It takes mere minutes, if the drive is already off.

Thank you,
Does the cam have to come out before I remove the head?

IIRC, no; the head bolts are all accessible without cam removal.
