My personal opinion is that the wording "head gasket" sounds complicated. When you say "engine block seal" it will make a little more since as to what you are actually dealing with and is no different. To answer your question, YES there is a temporary fix for a blown head gasket and it cost anywhere from $10.00-$65.00. It is called BARS Seal, BARS leak, Bars stop leak, and there are some other brands, but BARS Seal has always worked for me. It is a thick liquid substance that you pour into your radiator and when you follow the directions exactly, it works on any brand or size engine with a blown head gasket. In most cases this is temporary even though it may say "permanent" don't get your hopes up. I do, currently, own a 1995 V6 Toyota 4runner 4x4 sr5 that blew it's head gasket, back in 2001, and runs like a top, today, after adding BARS Seal 1 time, 9.5 years ago.
