Im changing the headgasket along with putting in cams, cam gears, valve springs, and rocker stoppers. I have a few questions. What OTHER gaskets am I gonna need. Can I use the factory head bolts or do I need to replace them. And, can anyone tell me or tell me where to find all the torque specs on the engine?

You can get ARP head studs if you like. If you get them from a reputable shop, they should give you the head torque specs if you ask them nicely.

False (IIRC).

Again, call up a reputable shop. They will know what you need. I know phase2 carries metal head gaskets, and I think he has ARP studs also. Same with HT I believe.
