Default Head gasket replacement

On my 2000 land rover disco II, what is recommended to be replaced in addition to, when I am doing a head gasket replacement?

What head gasket is recommended the composite or other?

Thanks,

Patrick

Just order the composite kit from AtlanticBritish, it will have everything you need including head bolts.
You might want to also replace the throttle body heater gasket.
Also switch from Dex-Cool to any aluminum safe coolant you want.

make sure you order the upper intake gasket it does not come with the kit, unless it has changed in the last couple of months.

Also plan on a new t/stat, coolant cap and 8 mm plug wires.
Do you have a Rave or shop manual to get instruction from?

Too bad I can't order a new car at the same time, maybe one I can drive thanks for giving my husband all the wonderful advice. Monica
