    Working through the holes in the upper housing you can use a punch to loosen the top nut after the cross bolt is removed. When the nut is loosened enough you will be able to use your fingers to unscrew it to allow the upper cut off section to come down and out.

    Be sure that the machine shop mills the exhaust/intake side of the head also. It looks like at one point the engine overheated, be sure to keep a watch on the cooling system. Seal the head bolt threads with either #2 Permatex or a similar product.
