Need assistance

Guys, I need some help from you guys who did some head rebuild, specifically R60 head rebuild. To save up money I would try to do it myself. To save up time I would like to know any special tools that I need for this task. Please I need all the help I can get.

For special tools, you'll need at least a timing tool set... Maybe a valve spring tool, too.

Why are you going through a head rebuild? Overheat? Something else? If you had an overheat, it means the head will need some amount of machine work. At that point, might be worth having a shop do the work for you, or getting a built up replacement and doing the swap yourself.
