anyway, i need to get the head gasket fixed. i have already had it fixed before by my dad, but it is now messed up again. i bought some kind of kit before and it had both the left hand and right hand gaskets. i still have one of them. i don't know which one it is, but i'm pretty certain that it's not the one i need. hs9081pt (felpro) is what the kit is. does anyone know of a website that might sell them for a good price? i've tried to search but i can't really find any...
 






oh yeah, and i just talked with my dad and apparently i need some sort of bolts too. i don't really know anything about this...but besides the gasket kit, what else will i need? i already bought the bolts for the first time that i got it fixed, but i don't know if i can use the ones that were for the other gasket. i would think so. and i found a gasket set for $79.99 and that's a lot better than what i paid before. but i'm gonna keep looking and see if i can get even lower.

you might want to bring your heads into a shop and have them milled, you shouldnt be blowin gaskets that much, i have 200K+ on my motor and its all original, and i beat on it hard. Sounds like warped head to me. as to where to get the parts. IDK
