torque wrench is about it I presume, its a pretty easy job. be sure to check the head for cracks thoroughly

Use fuel rail bolts to hold the cam sprockets in place, an impact to take off the crank pulley, and be sure to have the head resurfaced. I would upgrade to ARP head studs instead of head bolts, and torque them all to 65 or higher ft-lb just because you can.

Also retorque them after your drive it once

Don't forget new head bolts, if they don't come with the kit.

A lot of guys will reuse head bolts to save money. Do yourself a favor, spend the few extra Euros and get new head bolts ;)

No. If he uses bolts they are torque-to-yield, no retorquing. If he uses studs and torques them to 65 or higher when the stock spec is 40, who cares if you lose a few lb-ft after the car is heat cycled? It's not at all worth taking it back down to the head... Engine's not the easiest to get down to the head.
