Looking at a BRZ head.....I'm not a mechanic, but looks pretty standard as far as springs? Ya know, remove cams, remove springs/retainers, install new ones. reinstall cams in same spot. Time them. Close it up and start.
Other than being horizontal, whats majorly different from any other ohc engine?

Other engines aren't glued together. There are many places where improper surface prep, and adhesive application will cause catastrophic failure from blocked oil galleries. There are also places where o-rings under pressure will blow out because they weren't inserted carefully. Most commonly, carelessly removed old sealant makes its way back to the pan and ends up clogging the oil pickup screen.
This is a unique engine. I love it, but it requires special care.
edit: yeah... what bcj and Tommy said.
