The bolt head is a little big, but they should work OK. Gaskets should be fine, I used some of those in the past and was able to re-use them so they worked out for me.Some tips ...Get some PB blaster and soak all bolts for at least an hour before you start. Hopefully that will be enough time. All at the heads and the exhaust flanges.Remove plugs and wires for easier access and so you don't bust a plug.I would remove the upper intake as well, just for access. No need, but gives a little more room.Remove dipstick/tube when you get that header bolt off.If you break a bolt off in the head, the head has got to come off to fix it. Unless you get lucky with a 90* drill and a easy out.Get some Mechanix or similar gloves to prevent busted knuckles.Keep an eye on the header bolts for a few weeks after the install, make sure they don't back out.</blockquote>
