Don't neglect to have the head surfaced while it is in the shop. They will remove a small about of metal to assure the surface is flat. Last time I had heads surfaced the shop only took off .006" to make them true.

If you neglect to true the heads they can blow the new head gasket in short order.

Be sure to clean all the bolt threads and run a clean-out tap into the bolt holes. Debris on the threads or in the holes will alter the torque.

If you are using composition head gaskets, put them on dry. If you are using the old metal gaskets (the whole thing is metal not just a ring around the cylinder part) then use a gasket sealant like Copper Plate.

Good luck. It's not as hard as it looks.
