Unless you're a mechanic, you tow the car down to a real mechanic and pay him to do it. If you're going to diy, then you need to take the valve cover, intake manifold, the head, probably a couple of the pumps, god knows how many wires and hoses, and a half a dozen frozen bolts off. Then you need to take the head down to a shop and have it machined so that you can be sure that it is not at all warped. Even if you know it's not warped, get it machined. If you don't know where to take it, then go ask a local mechanic. Then you put the new gasket on, and undo all of that taking off that you did. Finally, you need to change the oil and anti-freeze/water BEFORE you start the engine to check it. Now just get down on your knees and pray to God that you've done everything perfectly and don't have to take it all apart again.
Good luck.
