Are you doing the whole head rebuild or just the heard R&R and the timing
belt? I do the R&R and timing belt with no special tools.
Head rebuild, to do it right will require valve grinder with cabability
and experience
to do a three angle valve job, dial indicator to check play in the valve
guides,
way to measure width of valve seat,
hydraulic press to replace valve guides if necessary, spring compressor
and
all other regular head rebuild tools.
