Head Gasket Repair

Hello everyone,

I am about to attempt a head gasket repair and have zero clue as to how to execute this. I have done some research, made some phone calls and gotten some advice on here. I am hoping that I can post pictures and ask questions and in the end through the collaboration we can provide a guide for others who may need to undertake this task.

This YouTube video seems to provide a good overview of how to tear the motor down. The first thing I am wondering is how far do I have to take it apart?

First this may seem like a stupid question but, is this the head gasket? It looks like the part:

Also, is that where I would stop taking things apart or do I have to go deeper?

Is this the head gasket too?

And is that this gasket? (under the cylindar):

Thank you in advance for your help.
