The engine should be allowed to cool before removing the head or warpage may occur in deck flatness.
The cylinder head and block decks should be cleaned before performing a flatness check. Dark metal stains below the surface of the metal are normal.
Do not attempt to polish off the stains with grinders or scrapers. Use a plastic scraper (or plastic ice scraper or equivalent) to pull away any residual
silicone RTV with ZC-30 and ZC-31 applied in sequence.
The Workshop Manual and Service Labor Time Standards have been recently updated for both cars and truck using 4.6L 2V and 5.4L 2V and

for extra time in engine removal and cylinder head deck leak repair out of vehicle.
