extremely easy if it's a 200 or very easy if it's a 300 check if the head is damaged and if not just clean it using fine sand paper/ wet n dry on a surface plate just tape paper to surface plate and work in figure of 8 so you wont get any low spots on the head. a decent hire shop will have a surface plate.

ps my 200tdi cost me £18-00 to do because head bolts are reusable

I was advised thjat this is the head gasket failing between valves.
