replacing the gaskets

so ive decided to embark on replacing all my gaskets on my engine to the head... right now ive got the head bolts off and and the top intake bolts off and i am taking off the turbo exhaust intake head and valves all off at once and i have most of it disconnected except the down pipe and bottom oil line to the turbo and thats all i notice but are there any bolts under the intake that hold the head on or should it come off after the downpipe is d/c? also what position should i put the cam sprocket on with #1 at TDC? i have secured the chain in the block to keep the tension on it.. any suggestion on what i should do upon rebuilding it as i am replacing all the gaskets? i have never blown a gasket or overheated so i am not worried about warpage..

There are two small screws at the front of the head that bolt to the front cover. Make sure you get those out or you could damage your head/front cover.
