Default Tools for header installation

Can some one list all the tools I'll need to install my header on my integra? Like I need to know what size sockets and stuff.

Since I have no tools I'll be going over to my friends place to borrow some tools for my installation tomorrow.

Also, do I need to torque anything to specific specs?

Get some penetrating spray like PB Blaster (awesome stuff).
Sockets (metric) along with wrench/extensions
Replacement gaskets (might be able to reuse)
Replacement bolts/nuts
EZ-out (incase you break a bolt in the head)
Lift/jackstands
About a day ( )
Torque wrench (to torque bolts in head)

So according to c-speedracing.com I just 12mm and 14mm socket and I should be good to go?

Can I just get gaskets at the dealer? Anyone know what to torque the bolts on the head too?

Hopefully this won't take me an entire day...

After some more searching I found
http://integra.vtec.net/engine/headers.html
which looks like a good place for anyone else needing header help.

My first header install took like 2.5 hours with just hand tools, its not bad, best thing to do, is just read everythign a few times so when you get under the car you know exactly what to do, instead of tugging on **** when there is still a bolt that you havent taken out. hehe
