Rebuilding a head is something that will be done mostly by a machine shop, and if you have the tools you can disasseble/assemble the heads to save on labor costs.

For reinstallation you need a new head gasket, new head bolts are a plus

Like they said, you can leave the cams in to remove the head, but if you are doing a rebuild you are going to want to remove the cams to get to the valvetrain.
