JMHO here but if you've never done it and don't have a valve spring compressor you may consider taking them to a reputable machine shop. You're going to wind up doing that anyway to get them pressure checked at least and maybe magnafluxed for cracks as well. The rocker assy, is pretty straight forward to remove but the valves, retainers and keepers are a bit more in depth, requiring the aforementioned spring compressor. If you do this yourself you may want to get a mechanic friend to guide you along. It's not complex but if done incorrectly it could lead to injury. That’s what I did the first time I D/A a cylinder head.
