This car (1984 300SD) has over 385,000 miles on it, The exhaust valve on the #1 cylinder wore out to the point I could not adjust it any more, so it is being rebuilt and should be finished by Wednesday.

I am using all new head bolts ect....but is their a head gasket that is better than another on the market today?

Also, should I lube the new head bolts when I install the rebuilt head?

Thank You ahead of time!
Jim
