Well my car was overheating, and couldnt figure out why. Today I looked at the oil and it looked like a caramel milky oil. Oh yeah I took the radiator cap of and it had a slight hit of a gas smell like exhaust. So that gave it away. Well anyways, I found my oil leak so Im not gonna do some of the gaskets I was planning on doing. All I would need is the head, header, and intake gaskets correct and new heads bolts correct??

I think that stuff and a full tune up would be best.

If you have the ARP head bolts, and you've never removed the head I imagine you could re-use them.

Might not be a bad time to switch to studs instead of bolts.

Get you some studs, FelPro 9333 head gaskets and a TUNE to pull some timing when that desert air gets hot!
