Not familiar with that engine, but can't imagine it's much different from any other.
It's probably a lot easier than you'd think - 99% of it is common sense.
Drain the coolant. Remove the top radiator hose if that's necessary on your engine. Take off the obvious stuff that's in the way. Valve cover, any brackets attached to the head.
Unplug your plug wires - label them if you're not sure of the firing order)
Suppose you can leave the intake/exhaust manifold in place if you remove the carb.
Remove the rocker arm assembly - should just be a few nuts holding it in place. Pull out the pushrods. Check them for straightness while you've got them out.
Remove the head nuts, don't worry if a stud comes out with the nut, it happens all the time.
Pull the head off.
wipe everything clean - vacuum out any carbon or junk that fell into the cylinders.
Put the new gasket in place.
Reverse the process to re-install. All you really need to do is make sure you tighten it properly - using a torque wrench (not sure what setting) Torque the nuts down gradually - start from the middle ones and work you way outwards so the head sort of flattens out as you tighten it.
Of course, while you've got the head off, take a real good look at your pistons/cylinders. A leak of coolant into a cylinder can wreak havoc.
You could (one might say should) do a lot more while you're in there, but if you're low on funds and just want the gasket fixed, that should be all you have to do. Slap it back together and start her up.
Hope I didn't miss any steps - but again, it's one of those jobs that sounds a lot more complicated than it really is.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
