So. It's time to do a headgasket on the 85.. since I'm going to pull the head, repair a few of the (spark plug, etc) threads, get it flea dipped, etc.

But what should I do about the gaskets and head bolts? Of course I'm fearful of ScanTech parts, but they're so cheap. Actually, Nick at FCP Groton seems to have reasonable prices on a gasket set made up of Elring gaskets. I've seen some suggestions that the ST set is okay, just get xyz brand of head gasket. Felpro? Volvo?

What about the head, exhaust manifold, turbo, etc bolts? Stick with Volvo? Go cheap? I'd like to not do this job again anytime soon. :)
