After you remove the head you need to check to see there is no warpage , meaning that the gasket side of the head is straight and flat and have the head checked for cracks. A rad shop is best if you don't have the experience or gear. Its crazy to reasemble it without doing this because 1/2 the time it has to come apart again because of warpage or cracks. You might consider changing your timing belt as well while its apart if it hasen't been done in a long time. The timing belt has to be dismantled to get the head off.
