[alfa] Help! Pulling Spider head

["John Y. Hung" <jdaezhung@xxxxxxx>]

Hey,

My '88 Spider Veloce has no compression on cylinder #3, so I've decided 
to pull the head. The workshop manual doesn't have clear instructions, 
or I'm overlooking it. I have taken off the entire fuel injection 
system, intake runners, exhaust manifold, and variable valve timing 
solenoid. The coolant has been drained.

1. Do I need to drain the engine oil?
2. How do I take off the timing chain? Will I need a special tool for 
this?

I assume that once the timing chain is off, I can take off the head 
bolts and lift the head. Am I missing anything?
