99 Econoline problem

Hello all, I have a 1999 Econoline E150 with a 4.2 V6. This van has been incredible for me I currently have 397,000+ miles on it. My problem is I believe that I have either a blown head gasket, or cracked/warped heads. I am somewhat new to mechanicing, but decided to take this project on myself since it was going to cost more than it was worth to have fixed. So I have begun the process of disassembling the engine and I am somewhat stuck. Is there any tips or advice on removing the upper intake manifold? I have removed the valve covers, rocker arms, and push rods and disconnected the hoses and wires, but I can't seem to put my hands on all 12 bolts on the manifold. Any advice would be appreciated or maybe I should just go try and try again and not be a wimp. Thanks for your help
