Zman, I would only add....
Make sure you don't let the two dowels drop out when you remove the head... And make sure you put them back in the other head.
Also, be sure the two X two sprockets rubbers on top of the head aren't dislodged as those little rubbers have a habit of falling into the sump
I would probably release the tensioner and re-tension after change-over.
