Following on from my last thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/89431-no-oil-pressure-after-rear-main-seal-changed.html
I need to order a head gasket set for my 09, can anyone steer me in the right direction as to the type of kit i need? bearing in mind that while the heads are off i will get my mechanic to resurface, crack test and put new valve stem oil seals in.
I looked at rock-auto,s site but there kits do not come with all i need as in ex manifold, head bolts valve stem seals.
Is there a kit i can buy all i need in one go?
And seeing that our engines are a j code the intake gaskets dont have that little copper plate that covers the exhaust egr port?
Will be ordering this from the states so will want to get the right parts just the once only, please god...

Any other recommendations while my baby is apart please feel free to chime in :D

Thanks for your patience, from a long distance Steel Soldier...

Head bolts are always sold per head and, so one head bolt kit covers enough bolts to do one head or one side of the engine. As for the gasket set I have a kit from feltpro that covers the hole engine gasket wise at home. I'll post up the kit number later on to night.

Wait until your heads are checked before ordering gaskets. They make an thicker gasket if needed.

There are some really good write-ups about head gasket replacement on some of the diesel websites.
