To remove the cylinder heads from a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo, first disconnect the battery and drain the engine coolant. Next, remove the intake and exhaust manifolds, along with any accessories obstructing access to the cylinder heads, such as the timing belt or chain. Unbolt the cylinder head bolts in the correct sequence to avoid warping, and carefully lift the cylinder heads off the engine block. Be sure to clean the surfaces before installing new gaskets or components.
