What parts (gaskets and such) do i need to do a headgasket job? Other than the obvious head gasket and head bolts?

algranger

get a head set from yer local parts store it has everything

iamsuperbleeder

X's 2, but minus the head bolts; most head gasket sets do not include them and will have to be bought separately

algranger

yeah good point some do like engnbldr's but they dont from napa

iamsuperbleeder

yep, completely depends on where you buy them from and the brand, but read any info about the set very carefully before you buy it as most specificaly list what is and isn't included

abecedarian

gaskets/seals to be replaced with a head gasket:

head gasket
intake manifold to head
egr to head
valve cover, semi-circular plugs and grommets
exhaust manifold to head
PAIR manifold to exhaust manifold
PCV valve

probably more, but I'm mentally challenged at the moment.

has anyone had problems with felpro gaskets? thats about all i can get around here.. and where can i get the head bolts from?

affmondo22

nevermind, found the bolts, but how are felpro gaskets?

algranger

Ive been told they are crap but never had a problem with them myself

affmondo22

alright.. ill just go to the dealer and buy their gaskets. i really dont wanna take chances on something as major as a headgasket

And, since you don't want to take any chances, you'll take the head to a machine shop and have it checked, including the valves, seals, etc., correct ?
