Why don't you just pull the one head and have it surfaced and check the valves, fix the problem, put on a new gasket and see what happens. It is a lot easier than pulling the motor.

Trying to locate spark plugs on chevy 2005 colorado, so i can replace new ones

You should see a spark plug wire for each spark plug. The spark plugs are in the cylinder head. You have to unplug the plug wire first before you replace the plugs. Be careful as to not damage the plug wires when removing them. Be carefull not to get dirt into the cylinder when replacing the plug. Do not overtighten the new plugs. I can't remember which side of the engine the plugs are on, on your truck. You truck has the inline 5 cylinder I think.

2005 chevy colorado runs rough and gets bad gas mileage.

Sounds like it needs spark plugs and wires, and a fuel system treatment.
