Google search "how to tell if head gasket is blown".
Ehow.com has real cut-and-dry instructions on removing a cylinder head for gasket replacement. They're easier to follow than Haynes' or Chilton's instuctions, IMO. Before I did mine, I had only done brake jobs and lifts on jeeps. I did it by myself, and had no issues.

Iv heard that replacing a head gasket on a 4.0 is rather easy
