Default TFS 215 head gaskets?

Im expecting my TFS 215 heads this week and was wondering what gaskets to use.Do i use stock gaskets because of the ptv clearence(heads are milled to 61cc)or do i go with some cometic .40 gaskets.Also...what else as far as bolts and studs do i need to use with these heads...basicly what do i need as far as everything (gasket/head bolts) to put these heads on...thanks in advance guys

head bolts/ studs whichever you choose. i chose arp bolts. im using a .045 cometic gasket also. quite a bit more money than the stock gaskets. you will also need a set of roller rockers as the stock ones wont work. other than that you should be golden.

Yeah, if you're stick with the TQ2 cam, you can use Cometic .040 just fine. The TFs have add'l clearance. Roller rockers...... gotta have 'em. Ask me how I know.
