I read that you need a special tool to lock the cams, do you need another special tool to remove the heads?

Do you have enough room to replace the head gasket with the engine on the car?

BTW the car is a Cayman, if that makes any difference.

You need a T55 torx bit for the head bolts & there are the small socket head cap screws around the chain housings. It would be very difficult to do this with the engine in the car.
