I believe that if a gasket is employed, then the need for gasket seal in a tube is gone, however, your gasket should be torqued to manufacturer's specifications. Yet, it doesn't hurt to have both.
How do you fix a cracked head gasket on a Saturn car?
The ONLY reason a head gasket fails is because the pressure between the head and the cylinder block is not even across the entire surface. That condition typically occurs when an engine has been overheated and the head tends to warp just slightly. When the head gasket fails, you'll need to replace the gasket, but you'll also need to have the head "resurfaced", meaning that a qualified machine shop will need to shave a couple thousandths of an inch from the surface, making the head "flat" again. NEVER replace a head gasket without having the head resurfaced. The head gasket is likely not the cause of your filure. The head itself will be cracked by the #4 cam jouirnal. Remove the rocker cover and you will see a clean spot where the crack is Saturnguy

What all comes in a head gasket kit for a 1991 Nissan Sentra?
usually, a head gasket kit will come with: head gasket rocker cover gasket valve stem seals camshaft seal/s an extensive kit may come with bolt seals, & o-rings for around the sparkplug entrances(on the SR engines, not the GA engines not sure on any other engine series they may have been released with) & various orings for breathers etcetc. but that will depend on the brand of kit, & how much you are prepared to pay. sometimes it is cheaper to buy only the gaskets you need, i.e a head gasket, but if you are doing that, its a very good idea to replace the camshaft seal/s & rocker cover gasket also, better to do them now, than in a months time. unless your head gasket is not a monotorque(fit & forget, much better option, dont need to re-torque them after 1000k)
