Typically not no.... the starters is normally located on the underside of the engine where it connects to the Fly wheel, which in turn is connected to the Crank (this is a simple explanation) The head Gasket is located, typically, on the top of the engine, where the 'head' of the engine is. The 'head' houses the cam and lifters and Valves. In short, no, no need to change the head gasket if you are changing the starter. (NOTE: My answer assumes that by 'starter' you mean 'starter motor' on a standard type engine in a car.)

What is the junk value for a 1995 dodge spirit?
I just got $250 for my 1995 Dodge Spirit in October 2011. I got the car off a friend when the orginal headgasket went bad at 120,000 miles. I had my mechanic replace the head gasket with a second one. The head gasket I had installed (second head gasket for vehicle) went bad 11,000 miles later. The Dodge Spirit is notorious for having head gasket problems. It wasn't worth putting a third head gasket on it. When a head gasket goes bad on these vehicles you can expect problems with the following: 02 sensor, thermostat, timing belt, and a possible cracked/warped head.
