I have a 1986 na 4age and have bubbling into my cooling system. Need to replace the head gasket. Where can I find info on replacing and tightening procedure?

see if you can get your hands on a factory service manual, aka, the bgb (big green book). It has everything you need.

Failing that, get a haynes manual.

And search the various forums.

i just replace two bent valves in my 4age and spent $67 on a head gasket kit on ebay with the head bolts and all gaskets included in the kit. The head bolts alone cost $50 at discount auto parts
