Do you have any money? If so, you should replace your heads while your already down there!

Here is a tech article thats on doing a head/cam/intake swap. Alot of it will not apply to you but some of it will. There are alot of pictures too.

Sorry man but to change a head gasket you have to take half your motor apart.

Yeah, there is a reason people hate the idea of a blown head gasket. It's a huge pain in the *** to do. If you have the money though, swap out those heads while you're at it, since your engine's going to be torn apart anyway.
