I agree mate - lifes too short.
I took my head off and on with the manifolds attached. Look at the wiki for some top tips on getting the head on using your old bolts...
Quick answer - YES.

Look at mickey9's earlier post re replacing water jacket seal video.

Some say you need to change the lower seal if you remove the head but someone will pop up and advise!
