I need to take my head out and have the header bolts Helicoiled. I was looking on SDPC and the head swap gasket kit is 249!!! Now the head gasket themselves are 34 and the bolts for one head are 16. I am going to get new exaust gaskets (GM better than the cork ones that came with my Kooks??)

But do I need the rest of the crap like the valve covers, intake manifold. I thought those were reuseable. The car has 19K on it, its an 01..

Thanks!

really all you need is the head gasket and head bolts. Everything else is fine to reuse

 

Cool that will make this MUCH cheaper

Thanks!
