I have heard of people using copperkote anti seize on some old head gaskets in 50 year old stationary low speed motors. Maybe you could use a snake skin & cut out the gasket shape!! Wasnt there a TV series decades ago called green acres that made one out of some pastry? (I'm being silly now!!)
Best get a nice new proper head gasket & clean both head & block.
I don't remember that one - but I did once see a program of an amazing African bushman repairing the axle of his Series 2A Land Rover with the root of particular tree... after walking for a day to find the tree - dug it up - then he went back fixed it and drove the gazillion miles home without really taking it easy...

...perhaps he's got some snake solutions up his sleeve...
