I need to replace my head gasket because all my coolant went into my oil and I need to know what parts I need to buy and what test needs to be done to the head at the machine shop.
I have Valve cover gasket, T-stat, water pump, timing chain set and gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, intake gasket, pvc valve, all belts for the accesories what else do I need to change?
Thank you
I have never used this site but if it works, I will donate next time.

If you got all that sounds like you're all set for a head gasket repair. Once the head is off you will need to get it pressure tested (aka magnafluxed) at a machine shop. They will be able to find any cracks in it and check for warpage. If the head is OK then just put the new gaskets on there and may want to check the cause of the overheating that caused the gasket to fail (if overheating was the issue that is).
