If you get to where you have no choice but to pull the head, I'd recommend you get another head from a junk, have it planed at a machine shop, and just swap them. Should save you a lot of downtime, and you can prepare the head more or less at your convenience rather than running around trying to get your repair done in one Sunday afternoon. If you do wind up having to pull your head, it'll be at least a day or two before it's ready to go back on. Besides, the 82 heads had the oiling problem, so a later one ought to eliminate that potential headache.
But as Matt says, you can get this done in the car, if all goes well. It's just tough drilling steel out of aluminum. If it goes off center, it'll be really hard getting it centered again. Good luck!
