Also a set of Fel-pro head gaskets are over £50 here, you don't just throw them away if they look good.

Right then, what you need are these -

They say they are chamfered, so hopefully on the other side of the washer is a chamfer which faces up to clear the chamfer on the bolt.
Are those Comp Cam roller tip lifters? If so you'll need guide plates.

Hold fire, it looks like the chamfer is on the outside according to Summit's pic, you need an inside chamfer.

yeah summit's pic I think is incorrect. Their description says inside chamfer: yes
ended up ordering them from here: http://www.jegs.com/i/ARP/070/200-8539/10002/-1
And I got the head gaskets price matched to our local parts shop. Went from $35 each at Jeg's to $15 each (they are $25 each locally and there's a $20 off of @50 coupon code).
Everything should be here by tuesday or wednesday, all for around $50 shipped to my door. I planned to get out there today and clean the block, pull the headers out of the engine bay (from underneath) and swap in the hi torque mini starter. but my floor jack died a sudden death, and the lure of chili, beer, and live music is calling... so...
maybe tomorrow
