Exponentially

Knowing @Stonetree I'd say logarithmically

That's my idea to get the engine out. But holding it down to get bolts off and torqued back on I'm not sure.

Can you loosen the bolts while it is still in the car?

That's perfectly okay since no one listens to you, anyway......

I never listen to what I say....so maybe I didn't say anything.....

Almost all of them. The issue is the exhaust manifold. It has these bolts sticking out of the engine and is held down by nuts, and I can't get that off unless I unhook the last mount the engine is on (and everything else that's hooked up to it) and swing the engine out.
And then torquing some of the bolts down will be incomparably easier to do with the engine out.

Can you disconnect the exhaust manifold from the exhaust pipe. And then just pull the head

Tried. Had the entire catalytic converter off.

Not recommending this, since I do not know the car. But on the old Renault LeCar you had to actually remove the fender to work on parts of the engine

Don't have to take the fender off, but bumper and part of the frame definitely does have to come off.

If @Stonetree said something in a forest and no one was there to hear it, did he say anything?

Nope...and for that matter not even if there was anyone there to hear it

None are so blind as those who will not see.....and the self important who offer judgement and not dialog.....
