I don't think you'll need to take the head off. Once you get the chain off the cam sprocket it should just fall down through the head and cylinder and you can pull it out from the bottom.

You have to remove the flywheel after you remove the side cover. You'll need a flywheel puller for that. Other than that, just remove the valve cover, tensioner, and the 2 allens that hold the cam sprocket on, and you're in business.

awsome thanks for the help. hopefully this will be all i will need since i just got the bottom end rebuilt not to long ago and JUST got the head done.

I've got the flywheel puller if you need to borrow it.

Doh! Just looked...you're in Tucson!

where can i get the flywheel puller at?

A decent motorcycle store would probably have one in stock. Maybe even a dealership. I have the Motion Pro one.

Just swing by the shop wamp450r, we have one that you can borrow.

that would be awsome if u could let me borrow it for a bit. i still need to order the chain unless u have one in stock that i could pick up tomorrow.

We ordered a few the day that you were at the shop last, but I will see if they are in yet.
