jfinney,
You bet. See the dark places where the head gasket sits? That is where the gasket was leaking. Get a piece of glass about a quarter inch thick and around 14-18 inches square. Tape some emery cloth or 220 sand paper to it and make a figure 8 motion with the head on the paper. When the surface is shiny everywhere the gasket sits, it's flat. Replace the head after cleaning it with some oven cleaner. The type that works cold.
You should check the adjustment of your valves while you are at it. And even better lap them then adjust. If you do everything by the book that repair will last you a very long time ( about 500 hrs).
