Pig no it is not the gasket goo in a tube you have to go and buy a proper head gasket.
Remove your head,have it checked out to find corrrosion and warpage.
Then you boult it back together again.
I warn you it is not a job for the inexperianced as I am a stubborn bastard and did it
myself.
It was the longest night I ever remember.
Start time was 7.30PM and I finished bolting every thing together and had her started
at 9.30 am (yes that is right 14 hours straight)
Any hows I hope this helps.
