I've done one on a Nova GTE before, was straight forward enough and cheap too. Cost me 35 quid for gasket set, oil filter etc and 15 quid to have the head skimmed.

Make sure you get the head skimmed especially if your car overheated. And replace the main bolts with new ones as they need to be tightened correctly.

I suggest get a haynes manual
