I’m not gonna ask why would you need to remove the cylinder head from a Toyota VVTi engine, but I suppose something wrong happened and you need to change some valves or rectify the whole cylinder head, here’s a tutorial on how to do it.
First of all, you need to make sure you have a complete tool set plus a jack and that special star bit you can see in the photo above.
Now that you have all it takes, you’ll have to start removing pretty much everything from the engine in order to reach the cylinder head. I’m not going through that again, you can check it here.
Assuming that you’ve reached the cylinder head and already removed the camshafts, the last part of the job is to unscrew the big bolts that are keeping the cylinder head attached to the engine block. To do this, you’ll need that thing in the photo, called a torx, a socket used to unscrew triple square headed screws.
One more thing you need to know is that you should gradually unscrew each bolt in an X manner as you will see in the video bellow.
