blown head gasket check list....
I just bought my friends 95 tacoma, picked it up from a shop that had diagnosed it with a bad head gasket.
my plan is to pull the head and send it to the local machine shop and have them re deck it. anything else i should have checked? this engine has 230k
in terms of parts i am going to need, can people make some suggestions? are there brands to stay away from? is there a good kit that will include all the parts needed?
do i need new head bolts? are studs worth the cost on such a high mileage engine?
any other tips on this job would be very much appreciated!!!

My experience is w/ the 22re so I could be wrong but I've always replaced head bolts. Some say you don't have to but supposedly they're designed to stretch when torqued making them a bit of a one-user.
Other than that are you going to do timing belt/any front end engine work while you're in there?
