Intake and exhaust manifold gaskets are also replaced along with the head gasket. Head is inspected and if cracked it is replaced. Head bolts should also be replaced with new ones.
If it was removed then YES.

Whenever it is blown or the head is cracked or warped.
It depends on the year, make, model, mileage and general condition of the vehicle. Consult a trusted mechanic.

A few things you have to look at- How old is the car? Except for the bad head gasket, does the car operate OK? How many miles are on the car?? These are things you have to decide what you will do.

No it will not. The only thing that will fix a blown head gasket is to replace the gasket.
what are you asking here? PLease be more specific ...like - how do I know if my head gasket is blown, or what do I do about a blown head gasket ......
Sure it will start with a blown head gasket. But, if you continue to run this engine with a blown head gasket you will destroy the engine.
