changing Head gasket

Just how hard is it to change the a head gasket from a 94 civic EX. The reason why is that I have a minnor blown head. And yes I did a compresion check to see if in fact that I did have a blown head?

Head gasket replacement is not that hard. Your first step is to head over to www.helminc.com & get yourself a factory repair manual. Even Shitlons or Haynes works for this, factory would be best. While the head is off you may as well have it inspected. Shit if I had to remove it that bitch would be ported/polished, valve job, etc.

For the Helms, you want to get the Service Manual (this is the Holy Bible of auto repair)), they have two different ones, but the one you want is the Service Manual. And I wouldn't was a penny on as, as Jackasssi put it, a shitlons or a Haynes, but if you do the Haynes is better.
