Good job on getting it back on the road.

In all honesty you *should* be able to do it on an IX but the main snag I think would be the intake cam. You *might* have to pull that out of the head before you can pull the head off the block, I'm just not sure about the clearance with the mivec cam gear. See my note about dropping bolts though, that's the only possible snag in this scenario.
I did not make the tool, I got the AMS one. Kracka, hellomynameis, and I went in together on it.
