also do you have to change the head bolts or are they good enough and dont stretch??
They do stretch - this is part of the problem.
I would recommend new factory headbolts or some ARP jobbies. Remember to lube and use the little flat washers so you get the correct torque - vitally important if you don't want to join the "I hate 7MG-BHG" clan.
