Use the OEM thin steel MLS head gaskets or Cosworth Stopper gaskets - both are very good.
As for the used ARP bolts, check the free length of them and anymore than 0.005" stretch against a new one or the specs on their website, then they should not be used.

Sorry for jumping in here, but I have the same problem. Secondhand mine are and I need to do the heads again. How do I check for stretching as I'm a noob to all this? Thanks
