I'd just use the 6n gasket and non-g40 bolts.  Works fine on my car.  Cheap from GSF

My dealership said 2 weeks for the bolts as they would have to get them ordered or made or something. Cant remember what he said. Headgaskets they can get as well.

that`s what i like to hear,

if they work fine on hayesey`s beast then i will go for them.

do you torque the head bolts up the same as the g40 ones?
