Exclamation 2000 ford windstar head gasket help!!!!!

I am new to this forum and I need help. I am only 18 and working my way up in the automotive field. I have done a few engine builds but only chevys and the engines were all out of the vehicle already. My grandfather has a 2000 ford windstar with a blown head gasket. He just recently got the vehicle out of the dealer from getting the intake manifold gaskets replaced. After about 1500 dollars later and three days he picked it up finished and ready to drive, though when he picked it up they told him he needed a new head gasket and it was going to cost another 1200 dollars. He is not wanting to take it back to them due to the fact that they could have mentioned the head gasket problem when they had the engine apart in the first place. He has since bought a new work van but wants to replace the head gasket anyway so hecan have another vehicle. He is going to let me do the job but is hesitant due to my lack of experience and now he has me second guessing myself. I was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on tips how to replace those head gaskets.. never worked on a ford but I know they are confusing>>> thanks for the help anyone!!!!
