After removing the head clean it up and check for warpage. Clean the block and head exceptionally well....then clean it again. A new head gasket won't help if the head is too warped to seal correctly.

Get the ARP head bolts and torque to thier specs.
Probably need the order from the manual. Don't know if it would be the same for an LT1, those are the only manuals I have.
