How hard is it to replace a head gasket on 240? 850

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.
