There are no gasketsused between the cylinder head and the cylinder, but there can be shims used to control compression ratio. The shims are used when the head has been flycut (machined) when it is being rebuilt. You can have the heads flycut to raise compression ratio if desired. Be careful with the air cooled engines because too high a compression ratio can be disasterous! A competent VW machine shop can give you more details

remove the lower unit of the motor (the part with the prop attached to it) by loosening the four bolts which hold it on, as you are doing this be carefull to hold the lower unit in place when loosening the last bolt so it doesn't fall to the ground. Inside the unit is a small box held on by four bolts, this is the water pump, remove the four bolts and the gaskets (there are three gaskets two rubber gaskets which sandwich a metal gasket). The small turbine lookin thingy is the impeller. Remove the impeller inspect the casing and gaskets for cracks or damage. If the water pump housing is cracked or damaged replace it same with the gaskets. Install new impeller and repeat thes steps in reverse order to re-assemble.
