Sometimes, no, yes.
Sometimes, depending on how patient you are.
No, basic tools do the job.
When time to put back together, be sure piston is at TDC and place cam in the proper orientation and you will be timed. There are timing marks on the cam, it is a line that goes straight across the end of the shaft, place the cam with those line lined up with the top of the head. (I made the mistake of just having the cam lobes down and it ended up being 10 to 15 degrees retarded.)
You won't have to take the chain completely out of the engine, just remove it from the cam gear but be careful that you don't let it fall all the way down or it can get bound up in the primary gear down on the bottom. You will have to remove the right side engine cover to get to the chain tensioner. While you're in there you might as well measure it's extension before you remove the tensioner.
If I missed anything I am sure some one will chime in. (please someone chime in if I did, I don't want to booger up this man's engine by remote)
