Take all the crap off to get down to the engine, then cam cover, front cover, then intake and exhaust manifold, take the chain off the cam, pull the head, fix it on a bench. Then reassemble in reverse order. Its a great experience.
Label stuff with masking tape if need be, take pics each step of the way, and/or buy a manual.
Looks like the Notch is going to be resurrected as a DD.

Ok, I shined a flashlight down the hole and it looks like the threads are still there, but it's really hard to tell for sure. I tried screwing the plug back in with the torque wrench and it seemed to tighten just fine, so I assume they're still there although they could still be slightly stripped. Didn't try starting it or anything. No idea what crap might have gotten down in there...

A slight ticking noise is clue to the plugs about to blow out. My old boss was complaining about his expedition ticking, then leaving work he had 2 plugs to blow out. He got that fixed and the tick went away

Mine was ticking, but I thought I had an exhaust leak from my h pipe scraping the chunks of ice in my driveway.

Since you haven't created any filings you should be AOK.
