Oil pan drop/ found coolant in oil

Hello all. Car is a 2003 linear 2.3lpt. After my car started ticking on the top end last week, decided to drop the pan. After dropping the pan, just as expected found the sump screen plugged 100%. Previous owner had it done at 50k and I bought the car with 72k. I have used good oil, not synth, but good high quality oil. Car now has 96k. while i was dumping out the liquid sludge noticed some small coolant bubbles in the bottom of the pan. This would explain the hard start in the mornings some times and the low coolant light. My question is would a retourque of the headbolts help?? Replace bolts and retorque or just do the headgasket and get it over with. Also is there a diy for the headgasket job? Your help greatly appreciated. Scott R in NH.
