Under $200.00 for parts. You can find cheaper head gasket kits on Ebay for like $50.00

Or any other type that will work ? I also need a magnetic valve keeper removal tool . damen1005

Done. To reinstall, place the keepers in position, place the socket over the valve, and press down manually HARD, they should fall right in place. This method worked for me.
