It is really an easy job, just very time consuming.

you need to machine the head in order to do it right, you can skip it, but it will cause a headache later in the form of more leaks.

besides the gasket set (head gasket, engine seals, etc.) you shouldn't have to do anything else, unless there is internal damage and/or you want to replace other gaskets (intake man.) and injector o-rings as long as they are out. I would suggest this.
