It's not hard if you are mechanically inclined, however it will be time consuming. Lots of stuff connects to the head so the real hard part is putting in the time to get it all disconnected or off the motor then to remember where it all went and reassemble it. Like Brice said, it could be that much if things heated up and you had to have it milled, then the entire head would have to be disassembled as well. How many miles are on the motor? Something didn't necessarily go wrong, it could just be old tired.
Sorry the rest of the list are picking their noses and not helping you with your legitimate posts.
