I am going to start tearing apart the engine and doing this soon, and I was looking at parts, and I found that the "head gasket set" is cheaper than buying all parts individually. So my question is, is there a difference between buying all parts seperatly (both gaskets, valve cover gasket, valve stem cover gasket, etc) or just getting the kit which includes all that.

 

just price...

 

I soon have to do this. Would it be at all possible to take pictures of the teardown and reassembly so I'm not going in blind to this motor? Also an overall price of what you paid. I'm not sure what is in the "kit", but I hope your purchasing head bolts too.

thank you

 

I have a 2 page write up on when I did my head swap... im sure that would help. If i had your email i could send it to you

do you have to change the head bolts , valve cover gasket ,valve stem cover gasket ?

 

i like that write up too. beltsc@hotmail.com thanks ..

 

yes, all gaskets have to be replaced in the process. and the head bolts can NOT be used again.
