I have been browsing ebay at headgasket kits and piston rings, etc etc...I believe what I need, is a headgasket kit and bolts, then piston rings, however I dont think all head kits have valve stem seals in do they? would an x16xe kit do the job? probably been asked a thaaaasand times I just want to stop some smoking
