Get the metal head gaskets. Soft compressed copper works great. I forget who makes them.

You want Cometic (brand name). They're expensive, but after popping some cheapies you'll wish you would have spent the money the first time. Around $130/set.

I use the fel-pro that are completely blue. Forget what they call them. Good stuff. Although it is not a blown engine I am dealing with some pretty extreme cylinder pressures. Also since your at it get head studs not bolts.
