Start shopping around while you have time for parts. I found felpro head gaskets for $10 ea. on close out from rock auto. also found a felpro intake close out on eBay for $19. I think the felpro valve covers cost the most $22. Amazon close out. Jmho.

Don't cheap out on head gaskets.

I insist you only use Victor Reinz made in Germany.

Cylinder-head gaskets - VICTOR REINZ

To vary from this advice may subject you to great harm when

the head gaskets fail again and you are beating your fists in frustration against the plenum.

And the bolts too:

Just call Lucky8 and be done with it. I got the victor reinz kit, arp studs and the intake gasket for $240. I hate how everyone tells you to source everything from different places at such good prices but by the time everything adds up it is more expensive then just buying the kit from Lucky8

As you can see there are as many opinions as to what parts to use , as there is if you should do them or not.

Out of curiosity, where would one pick up the Reinz gasket kit and bolts? I called Lucky 8 and they do not carry the Victor Reinz kit or bolts for a D2. I found a "Sales Partner" page on the Victor Reinz website, and it listed what appears to be a dealer in California - website was a little jumbled up. A google search didn't provide much info either.
