    Yes, the head has to come off. You can get the cam out without pulling the head if you need to, just hold all the followers up with some mechanics wire, but no way to get the followers out without pulling the head.

    I don't know, but I went through that last year. Now I'm in the middle of changing a front housing on a C12, not fun either. Make sure that the little bracket on the back of the air compressor is on there and tight. If that's loose for too long, the vibration of that heavy compessor can cack the gear housing.
