If you have any engine experience, the B230F engine is about as simple as it gets so replacing the head gasket in itself is simple but if you've never replaced a head gasket on anything, I'd recomend buying a manual to assist you with torque specs, etc.
I'd suspect that the engine was overheated and if so, the head is probably warped and will need to be taken to a machine shop to have it resurfaced.
