2.5L Burning oil - going to remove cylinder head. Help please.

1987 Chevy S-10 2.5L

I am burning oil. I go through a lot of oil and I have a very very minor leak (not anywhere close enough to equal the amount of oil I lose). When I go to put oil in, I will burn off a lot of white smoke, after a while though there is no smoke yet I still will burn oil till it runs dry or near dry. I am going to remove the Cylinder head (Or at least try). After reading the "How to" in the Haynes manual, I am a little scared just because it seems like a lot of work.

My questions are -

1. I have standard garage tools. Will I need anything special to do this?

2. While I have the head off and everything else that I need to get to the cylinder head, is there anything that I should replace that isn't too costly?

3. If it's not my cylinder head, where else could the oil be coming in at?

Thanks in advance.
