Also Rover Connection and DAP, all sell a good product.
Also make sure you replace the t/stat, plug wires if not yet done and upper radiator hose if not up-graded to the new bleed screw in the plastic tee.

I plan in doing my head gasket also on my 2001. I bought the head gasket kit, headbolts, t-stat, and the hose kit to repalce all my hoses. Does the bleed screw in the t connector you guys have been talking about come in the hose kit from AB???

The bleeder screw comes with the updated hose kit, When you guys remove your heads you may want to pressure check the block to see if your sleeves are leaking coolant at the top of the liner. I have the engine pulled on our DII because of this problem ( I replaced the head gaskets first, dident fix it!) I saw a block pressure check kit online for the 4.0 and 4.6 designed for checking after the heads are removed. If I can use my block I plan to re-sleeve with w/top hat liners, this is to insure that the liners will not drop in the block. I'll keep you posted---------------jneil
