Okay, so I am getting ready to pull my head to fix that blasted oil leak.

I want to put together as complete a parts list as possible to minimize my downtime (driving a Volare).

If any of you have done this job and you figured out halfway through that you really should have bought a _____ , please post it here!

Here's my list so far:

1) Head gasket repair kit
2) Head bolts and a 12 point socket for them
3) Valve guides, springs, seals
4) Front timing cover seal + The loctite stuff
5) Possible timing chain guides (input appreciated)

What am I missing here?


Thanks,
