When replacing a valve cover do you also need to remove the head gasket and replace it too?
No you do not.... the valve cover only bolts to the head, and the head bolts to the block... True- these are two different jobs. When changing your valve cover gasket you may just want to ensure that your head bolts and lifters are still torqued down properly. Otherwise, DO NOT remove the head gasket if you simply want to change the valve cover gasket. when replacing the head gasket you should replace the valve cover gasket and may need to (depending on make & model) replace the egr gasket, intake mainifold gasket, and exhaust manifold gasket ...but not the other way around. If your replacing the head gasket ask your local auto shop if they carry a head gasket kit that includes everything necessary in one box...but if your just changing the valve cover gasket then just change that.
Would it be better to replace a head gasket or put in a recon engine on a y reg fiesta zetec?
Bit of a tricky one ... It all depends on the condition of the cylinder head. If the cylinder head is warped then replacing the head gasket won't solve your problem. A warped cylinder head can be skimmed (if not too badly warped). If the cylinder head is badly warped then it would be much easier to replace the head than fit another engine.

If a head gasket blows in a 350 GMC then do you have to rebuild the motor?
As with any hed gasket problem as long as you get to the problem early enough as to not have any further major damage happen due to driving/running the vehicle too long after the head gasket blows I would say no to a complete engine rebiuld. Oil must be drained and new oil filter replaced, cylinder head must be sent out whiile you are at it send out the good head too and have the magnafluxed for cracks, have the engine to head surface checked for cracks as well, replace as needed, install cylinder head gasket and intake gasket set retorque and or replace head bolts as per manufacturers specs....happy motoring.

Head gaskets seal the clyinder head to the block. Head gaskets usually blow when the vehicle has been run too hot for too long.
