Default 93 5.2 blown head gasqet. how bad is the repair.

was out side of ashland oregon south and it got extremely hot and blew white smoke every where. got it home finally and bought a head gasket kit and valve job kit, question is how bad is it to do this job, i am mechanical inclined.
tips and hint would be greatly appreciated.

Do yourself a favor and get a service manual. It will have detailed steps on how to do the job. Look on eBay or Amazon for a factory service manual.

A good service manual will give you how many hours it will take to do the job.Since you never done it i would double that time to give you some wiggle room.
