The correct way is to remove the head(s) have the head(s) checked for warpage repair as necessary then clean everything good and replace the head gaskets. There are some places that advertise a product that is suppose to seal a head gasket leak but remember if it seals the headgasket leak it may stop up your radiator, also it will just be a temporary repair

Blown head gasket would like a motor
This was very common in the 4.9 liter engine. The best solution be to get the heads redone and have new bolts installed because the problem is that the head bolts would bottom out and not get the head tight enough. This would of course allow the gasket to blow out and the issue would continue to happen because the bolts were bottoming out.

Blown head gasket how to repair it
The only way possible: remove the cylinder head and replace it. And do it quickly because a blown head gasket can seriously damage an engine if left unfixed.
This is a serious job, which requires mechanical knowledge and some special tools - a torque wrench is mandatory.

I want to buy a 99 cadillac deville and I was told it was only a head gasket problem (blown) what other items should I review before purchasing this vehicle. The owner claims she never let the car overheat...
poor choice if purchased. The head bolts tend to break and to have it repaired is very costly for they are slender and long. . A 99 Cadillac is too old for they have many modules operating this vehicle and the shocks themselves run nearly $1000 each. Back off on this deal
