OK, this headgasket repair is getting expensive!! And I am finding that most parts house employees are idiots. Even with the computer and their 20 questions, they couldn't figure their way out of a paper bag!! 
Of course my very knowledgeable parts guy has been out dealing with family stuff, until today. I ended up buying more gaskets than I needed! 
But now I have spares.
I agree with all of those statements!
Gnarls.
