I finally had to replace my headgasket this week, after a bunch of stop-gap measures to make the FelPro live. Its final failure point was in cylinder number two, it ovaled the fire ring all the way over to the coolant passages by the intake:
  Not too bad for a year of abuse, I guess. I'm hoping the OEM Mitsu gasket won't give me any trouble. -------------------- Eric Wort

My philosophy is, "if it breaks, replace the broken parts (or readily accessible ones) with aftermarket parts." In your instance, I'd get a set of cam gears, springs and retainers, and some Crower Stage 3 Cams while I was at it. Of course that may be why mine has been sitting for about three years.
