From what I can see of my water leak, I am going on the theory that a head gasket has blown.

Now, since I have to take the one head off and everything except the other head, I may as well try to make lemonade out of the lemons, and do both heads. I ordered the head gasket set that has all the gaskets that are needed to service both of the heads.

My question is, what method would be best since about all I can find are exhaust valves and listings for valve seats (didn't notice intake or exhaust) and push rods. But springs, intake valves and anything else is a no-find. I'm also not equipped or skilled for valve seats.

If I took them to a shop, what could they do without all the parts?

Is it neccessary to have all new stuff or can you work with the existing parts? If so, what would you do?

Also, would you put in new lifters (from IL6) if so, what do you order?
and pushrods?

This oughtta be a hoot!
