it's a pretty involved job, but can be done by the average backyard mechanic. Make sure you have the head checked as maverick said, and TORQUE THE HEAD EXACTLY AS THE MANUAL SAYS. Before you put the bolts back in make sure there is no oil in the bolt holes, if there is it will give you falsetorque readings and you could damage the head, or the block.
