Replacing LIM gaskets, what else?

[InvalidUserID]

On my '96 3.8L, I had a leaking valve cover replaced and noticed that the LIM gaskets are very slightly leaking as well. Since I have to do those, with 190k on the clock, how much more work is doing the head gasket? I've had this car since 60k and I've never replaced it before.

So far I have:

Fel-Pro metal LIM gaskets
Fel-Pro upper intake gasket
Throttle body gasket
The two coolant elbows

If I decide to replace the head gasket, what will I need?

- Left/Right head gaskets
- Head Bolts

Anything else?

You'll just need the bolts and headgaskets since everything else is apart already. You might want some rocker arm bolts since you can't reuse the stock ones. And valve cover gaskets.

Where can I pick up some rocker arm bolts? I checked rockauto, they don't carry them. Any suggestions?

ZZP and intense racing sells them.

Just get Comp reuseable rocker arm bolts from above places^.

Now would also be a good time to replace the cam, get the heads P&P'd, LIM and UIM P&P and port matched...... oh, the possibilities.
