Vans RV-9A

I'm looking to start building a RV-9A kitplane, but would like to know the following:
1) As they are using Lycoming O-235 / O-320 engines, can you service the engine yourself as with the Rotax 912S, or does it have to be serviced by a licensed engineer, or should I rather install the Wilksh diesel?
2) Does any one know the running costs and PFA registration costs of RVs. Insurance, PFA fees etc.
3) How much more will it cost to run than a Europa XS?
Any information will be helpfull!
