Valve cover gaskets, but that's about it. Only change the head gaskets if you KNOW for a fact that there is a problem there. A compression test will tell you if you have head gasket problems.

Felpro has an updated gasket with a metal frame. Get them! The part number is MS98002T.

having just done this job last week i can say def go with the steel backed felpro...huge dif in quality.
i also kicked around head gasket job as well....couldnt find a good reason to do it.
it was a 12 hr job for me...nothing terrible though.
be sure to label everything!!
oh and to save some harness wrangling disconnect the wire harness from top of engine at the fuse block and push it out over pass fender...saves some time and headaches pushing it out of the way constantly.

when one finds one self without a backup vehicle...one is HIGHLY motivated young grasshopper.
i have a 95 stang that i was driving this summer while blazer was down...and of course it went crap on me too....so what i thought i could put off became a priority one job.
