8 valve petrol TU headgasket is pretty simple to do.
Just remember to get the head skimmed & replace the timing belt kit at the same time!
Get yourself a Haynes manual & buy / borrow a suitable torque wrench.

Its a job certain people could easily do in a couple of evenings after work.
Take it apart one evening, drop it of for skimming next morning, pick it up in the afternoon then put it back together that evening.

Take it to a cylinder head specalists / engineering shop & get the surface of the cylinder head skimmed perfectly flat.
Unless the cylinder head & engine block mating surfaces are perfectly flat / within spec the new head gasket can fail again pretty quickly.

Posting the write-up as a HOW-TO would be extremely useful!
