New engine? Just get it fixed, about £300-£400, would cost you more than that for a new engine and someone to fit it.

bets advise i can offer is buy a haynes manual

have a read through on how to do head gasket, and if you think your up for it, give it a go yourself

best way to learn, is to jump in at the deep end, otherwise, pay a garage a nice large wedge for them to do it
