nope. you can change the gasket with all oil intact. it's best to wait for all the oil to drain out of the head before you pull it, but a hot engine is difficult anyway, I'm sure you will do that.
you might wanna park on a steep incline to get as much oil as possible out of the way, but it's not criticle, as there is a pretty steep wall in the 606 head. (the 617 is practically flat! )
