shouldnt have to drain the oil before you pull the head, but definitely change it soon after you get it all back together, and you have a timing belt, you should be able to remove the timing belt cover and there is a timing belt tension device, just move the tension device to relive the tension on the belt and its off. i have the la1 and i had to change my heads, i did it in 8 hours in a advanced auto parking lot in Florida, just invest in a good torque wrench, and clean the head and block mating surfaces really good
