Head Gasket

How much is involved in changing a head gasket in a 617?

I'm about to change out my valve stem seals because of a white/blue smoke issue, but I suspect that the head gasket might be bad too. I will do a compression test tonight to see if I have a low cylinder which would further point to a bad gasket.

Just wondering if I can do the head gasket myself or if I should let a professional do it. It's just that there is nobody around that I would trust to do it. I can screw up just as bad as the locals can.
