No you dont use the stock head gasket. There should be O rings to seal it up. 1 O ring on each dome, Then a 2 o rings around the head where it seals against the cylinders, and 2 o rings down in the head shell to seal the shell to the top of the domes.
Use some vasoline on the orings to hold them in place. That way they are not falling out.
I would also take the fitting of the back of the head that hooks to the radiator hose. That way you can put the head on and not fight the rear radiator hose and trying to keep the o rings from falling out at the same time.
