I have to tear the heads off and check them for cracks and warpage, im crossing my fingers they're not f'd up but i need to buy head gaskets and new head bolts, anyone know the best brand so i might not have to do it again. also where can i get the best deal?

Well what caused the gasket to blow? If it overheated you need to take the heads to a machine shop and checked for flatness, they will most likely need to be milled. Off the shelf felpros work fine, as long at there isnt something wrong causing the gasket to blow.

i know i haVe to have them checked theyve already been milled once thats why im crossing my fingers that theyre not cracked or warped,
Fel-pro thanks

Mine have been milled multiple times, dont worry about it, they only take off the minimum they need to be straight. Mine were usually .002, no biggie.

I used the factory GM gaskets when I did mine, I have 11:1 compression right now and haven't seen any problem with them.

Depends what thickness gasket you want.

For a car with a catback? Waste of 200 bux if you ask me, especially when people are running boosted motors with felpros. I had a set of cometics for my new setup, but had to sell them b/c I needed to go bigger on the bore of the motor. Havent decided if I'm going to get another set yet after reading how well people are doing with felpro.

I had fel-pro on my B4C, they were pretty good for the money...

Cometics here...but as said before unless you are running some serious cylinder pressure the felpro's will be fine
