Buy a complete head gasket set. It'll have all the Lil one you will never think of.
Or better still give advanced automotive a call on 0117*967*2344 and explain what you want.

You won't know your head gasket thickness until your heads are skimmed, so buy your head gaskets last when you have calculated the thinkness required.

Don't buy composite head gaskets as they are prone to failure and breakdown over time due to heat/pressure cycles. The Sti multi layer steel gaskets are good as well as Cometic, but I prefer Cosworth head gaskets as they have a folded inner edge making for a better seal. But either Sti, Cometic or Cosworth gaskets will do the job nicely.
