You'll need timing tools to put the heads back on. Taking them off doesn't matter.

The SAI rubbish will need removing from the back of the heads, which isn't fun. You'll also need to disconnect the coolant link pipe from the heads, but that will be difficult to remove with the engine in place.

Coolant pipe along the side of the bank 1 head - thats connected to the link pipe with a hose and some spring clips. Possible to get to that with the SAI stuff removed.

Leave the exhaust manifolds on the heads and disconnect the downpipes. Remove the manifolds on the bench if needed.

I have a 100mm triple square.

Can't think of anything else.
