    Heads

    Actually that would be a no - taking the head off isn't for just cleaning them up. Rather a big job, and it's not as forgiving as cast iron heads in ordinary cars. If you want to clean the insides use a good quality fuel additive - like this:

    If this is a serious question,,,,

    then no,,
    removal of ANY cylinder head is not easy,
    it requires the correct tools and a REASON to do so,,

    whats the reason?

    is it leaking oil?
