Default ***Blown Headgasket*** 94 Civic what to do???

well I blew my first head-gasket today on my 94 ex coupe. It was leaking some coolant. Don't know what to do, I'm short on cash. Figured I would at least ask you guys. Should I take it to a shop?? I don't want to get raped on labor. Or can this be replaced with a few friends and I in a day or so.

Where would you recommend I take it to get serviced.

-thanks for any help

get head shaved (if needed) and replace the gasket... nothing hard. did you let it over heat alot?

maybe new head studs too

Replace head gasket yourself, get shop to do it. Replace motor yourself, get shop to do it.
