Pull the head and inspect the damage. That's about all you can do at this point. You've already established that you have some serious mechanical damage and now you just have to repair and or replace major engine components. Sorry about the bad timing, I know what that is like. There is nothing like having your engine blow when you really can't be without transportation.

is there any particular order of removing the bolts that i should know? i dont currently have a shop manuel

I wouldn't even touch the engine without a shop manual. While I'm not condoning piracy, they're available for download on the Internet in PDF format.

There is an order and procedure so, you don't warp the head.

s2kjb

nm i found the manual, i wouldn't normally do it but desprite times call for desperate measures...

Your car has more than one header

s2kjb

header just use to saying headers when talking about the header

here we ago again a 'header' is a pipe that serves as a central connection for two or more smaller pipes, so by some definitions, our 'header' contains three 'headers'
