If you did the cam cover gaskets recently with genuine parts then you can re-use them without any issues.

Re-use the cam seals (pattern parts are truely rubbish)

New dowty washers for the coolant bridge

New O ring seal for the main coolent pipe to block joint.

Genuine exhaust manifold to block and manifold to front pipe gaskets.

Trechii for head gaskets and bolts plus stem seals if doing a head re-furb.

Its also worth considering re-sealing the oil cooler whilst stripped down as its very easy!

Thanks for the info mark.

Anybody help me out with were to get a head gasket kit from and what is in it and the best makes to go for....Glad to here daz's alot quicker now the gasket's done always a bouns. 

Bloke on Ebay called Trechii does the head gaskets kits and bolts but your better off going to your dealer for cam cover gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets ect

Thanks pete mate.  Will have a look at that is there any makes to stay away from and is this all i need....The gasket set, blots,manifold gaskets and the cam cover stuff again....Only just done them a few months ago never mind.

This is gonna be a learning cuvre i can tell you that but kinda looking forward to doing it.

Just wondering though what about this k-seal i keep hearing about any good or do you think doing the head gaskets is the way to go any pros and cons

I would do the head gaskets, its a proper job and should last for years, K  seal is a temporary bodge and causes more problems in the long run. I'm only down the raod from you if you need a hand

Only just seen this post. Thanks for the offer pete sorry for not replying.
