STOP driving it now. The head and block are already being etched by the hot combustion gasses going through the gap in the gasket.
The oil is being contaminated as the bubbles show.
Here many chain auto part stores will rent you a torque wrench free, with a deposit, when you buy parts from them.
Do the timing belt while you have it off too.
This is really just a Saturday project.
