Nope! You do need to complete gasket set for the intake system since it all needs to be removed to get to even one of the heads. Then you need one head gasket for the head that is blown as well as an exhaust manifold gasket since it has be be unbolted from the head in order to take the head off. Good Luck. I hope this helps.

Just one head gasket can be done, but personally I would do both. The engine is already torn down and something caused the failure, whether it was overheating or a corrosion issue, if one went then the other might not be in such great shape. Alot more money to go back in 6 months later to do the other. Assuming that you mean the gasket when you say the head is "blown"
