Re: Can you give me steps on how to remove the cylinder...
Don't attempt it. It is not for the DIYer. There are very detailed procedures to follow and getting the timing right is is tricky. If you do attempt it buy a good manual and follow it closely.

yes, yes and yes, and are all seen here in photo1 below.
lambda II engines. 3.8L
38 steps, +18 more on step 19, and 56 steps just for removal.
just to get the cover off is 31 +19 steps.
the head bolts are TTY bolts set by angle and are never REUSED
TTY= torque to yield.

Install cylinder head bolts.
Do not apply engine oil on the threads or under the heads of the cylinder head bolts.
Using SST(09221-4A000), install and tighten the cylinder head bolts and plate washers, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
Step 1-Tightening torque: 28-30 ft. lbs. (37-41 Nm)
Step 2-Tighten an additional: 120° plus or minus 2°
Step 3-Tighten an additional: 90° plus or minus 2°
Tighten bolt (A) to: 14-17 ft. lbs. (19-24 Nm).NOTE Always use new cylinder head bolts.
Uniformly loosen/tighten and remove/install the 16 cylinder head bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown-3.3L and 3.8L engines

3.5litre V6 Front wheel drive, the cam position sensor is in the back of the cylinder head above the transmission. bank one is the front bank, nearest to the grill. the cam sensor is held into the head with a 10mm bolt, has one wireing connector with 3 wires in it. the sensor is sort of round with a leg off one side for the bolt the secure.
may need to remove the engine cover to see it. it is held down with allen key bolts.
HI you need to remove all the bolts that attach rear cover to block and remove the oil pan to gain access to bolt that hold rear timing cover to upper pan hope thie helps.
Pretty easy to tell even without taking the valve cover off. If it is a dual cam, then the spark plugs are lined up right down the middle, between the 2 cams. Which is optimal. If it is a single cam, the plugs have to be off to one side, on an angle. Which is not as good.
