    You are right, unfortunately I don’t think you will see any improvement with a new head gasket. Oil up those cylinders and just reinstall the old head gasket and snug up the head bolts to keep moisture out of the cylinders. You could sell it "as is", or put it aside, I’m sure an affordable decent used powerhead will turn up over the winter time.
