i agree with mberndt I mean as I said I'd have no problems working on my car b/c I have an uncle also who is always there to help me, but working on someone elses car is something that I wont do. Now you don't have to take apart the entire valvetrain, but it's more complicated than steven also suggests! personally if I were you though I would just suck it up and pay to have it done b/c the old cliche goes "better to be safe than sorry!"
