What car, what tools do you have, what experience mechanically do you have?

In that case, do you need to ask the question?

Have a look at an old magazine of the club from here

http://www.rover200.org.uk/magazine/summer07.html

It has a headgasket guide in for a 1.6K but the 1.4 should be similiar.

The things "special" to the K series are once the head is removed NEVER rotate the crank as it can disturb the liners . Also before replacing the gasket measure the cylinder liner heights. If they aren't within specification then the the new gasket won't be reliable.
