Head gaskets don't usually fail unless there is a reason. Most likely the engine overheated or something else happened to cause the head to warp. If that is the case you will need to solve the REASON for the gasket failure.Pull the head then take it to a machine shop to have it resurfaced. They will make the head surface flat again and it can be re-installed without risk of it failing again immediately.
While you have the head apart, you should have the valves and guides reconditioned. Once you have gone to all of that troule, you might as well rebuild the entire engine, since it isn't that much additional effort and expense to do the whole thing.
