You don't need to replace the HEAD, you need to pull it off and put on a new HEAD GASKET, an entirely different animal. Manifolds stay on, so it's pretty easy with a hoist EXCEPT for the stinking bracket under the intake, can only be reached from the bottom.
Don't break the chain guide, you will have to remove the front cover. Get a new boot for the air flow meter horn, new idle control valve hoses, and new injector and injector sleeve seals and do all this at once -- it will run as well as it did new if you do. You may need to do valves if the engine has excessive oil consumption though. Shouldn't be a problem on a 92, they fixed the bad valve guides by then.
