You would need to re-set the valve clearances anyway
after replacing the head gasket.
Remove rocker cover
Turn engine till no.1 valve is fully open-adjust no.8
no.2 " " no.7
no.3 " " no.6
and so on until no.8 " " no.1

This is the "rule of nine". To avoid a lot of engine
turning watch as valves open, and adjust the corresponding valve - make a note of them as you
do them - its easy to loose where you have got to if
doing it like this!
Sorry, can't remember the clearances, 12thou comes to mind, but not sure. Try Google-ing it.
Hope this is of some help.
