GMC53,
The head is heavy. Pulling all the stuff off and removing the head is not technical, and it's fun to see the inside of the engine.
Putting it back together would require a torque wrench and the ability to adjust the valves.
You indicate you have the manual, so it can be your guide. Doing this chore will give you tons of confidence and bragging rights.
You have this site to fall back on when you get to a path you're not sure of!
