Most recommend that you remove the cylinder head to install them. I don't think that it's necessary when the head is aluminum.

^yeah, but make sure you do it properly- heck, have a shop to that so you have some sort of warranty.
i stripped my 3vz-fe head, did the repair, and the repair stripped the head. in otherwords, i was screwed-to-the-max. new diy/slightly port-and-polished head and head gasket was put in though...
