I would pull the head with manifold attached.
The head probably won't need plained and if you haven't been losing power you probably don't need the valves redone. There are a lot of guys who are going to argue that one though. You can take the head to an auto parts store and have them redo the head and valves. The valves will probably be well worn and they will try to have you replace them and the valve guides. If when you look at the head from the valve side and you don't see any black spot or obvious burn marks, I wouldn't bother redoing it. Remember all we want to dohere is stop the oil burn and pep her up a little, correct? I have reused head gaskets with a high temp sealer and added a couple of extra psi torque to teh spec.
Also on an M you don't need to split it to do teh clutch. That is a simple job through teh bottom where the belley pump is fitte din.
