The question is, why did the head gasket let go? You have to answer that question before you replace the gasket. If the head is in good shape, and the block deck is in good shape, then get them both squeaky clean, and bolt it back up. For a little added insurance, re-torque the head bolts after the engine has fully warmed up, and cooled back down.
