The head bolts on the 4age us 10 mm twelve point socket types.

Usually everyone avoids 12 point sockets because the tend to slip and round off bolt caps. 6 point sockets are the way to go.

However to pull the head off a 4 age you need a 10 mm 12 point socket.

i typed "head gasket" in the search box and pulled up all kinds of threads.
it seems most go with OEM head gaskets unless they are not building to stock.

here is a link that may be helpful. good luck in your research.

you do not need to take off those allen plugs, those huge allen plugs are core plugs for the head.

use OE composition head gasket, MLS require near mirror finish on both surfaces, copper requires O-ringing the block

take the head and block to the machine shop to check for deck and head straightness and resurface if require, as most likely either or both is warp and cause the head gasket to fail in the first place.
