Default head gasket set and timing belt set

i have a port and polished head that i want to put in. the car has 155k on it so i figured i might as well and do the timing belt and the water pump at the same time. anyone know of a good place to buy both sets? this is my first time doing a project this big. is there a diy for this? anyone have pointers?

thanks for info

Well I would start with buying a manual. If you're honestly considering swapping a head without diagrams and a solid walk through you're setting yourself up for disaster. Get a Helms dealer repair manual...there simply is no equal.

like its already been said, get the factory manual!! it is the most detailed & comprehensive!

especially for a job of this magnitude... changing timing belt is not a quick easy job, its time consuming and a pain in the ***!

also, you should replace all the other belts in that area while you are at it..
