So I spent more money....ordered 2 head gaskets from the local NAPA store and 4 special valve cover washers also...all this stuff comes from the middle of the country...

Oh yeah...here is the busted headgasket....

only took 3 tries to do this

another view of it here...

not fun at all....

so yesterday morning before work I went to the local ACE hardware....$4.00 later I had 2 1/2" hex bolts...

before the hack saw

waiting for parts

the back one waiting too...

so we are hangin under the hood...waiting for the post man to deliver to the local NAPA store...

hangin around waiting....

So all you Stovebolt gurus....do I need new head bolts????...on my oval track Dodge Neon when you do a head gasket you get new head bolts everytime you took the head off...

Any insight would be awesome...
