Yes I've replaced one just a few weeks ago. Second the head is split in two parts, the upper and lower sections. The upper section uses a sealant / liquid gasket, but the lower half has a standard type head gasket.

Its not all that tough but you wiil need a few tools to set the cams and reset the head. I have the tool kit I purchased and used up for sale in the classified section. Its not cheap $490 but Baum tools wants $795 if you purchase direct. The tool is worth every penny. Aligns the cams and presses the upper part of the head in proper fashion so as to avoid damaging the cam journels.

My 98 T5 has been great since the new headgasket.
