I had to do mine on the 92 945T at about 250K miles a few years ago.

1. In my case my head had been "skimmed" already once by a previous owner and the machine shop could not take any more material off so I ended up buying a used head from another Brickboard member and installing that one. If you know yours has not had any machining you might just want to get it machined true and reinstall.

3. I bought and installed new bolts, seemed like a small expense for peace of mind.

4. I'll leave that one to Art. In my area, Fairfax Auto Parts in Merrifield VA just outside the beltway seems OK.

With a different head you need to do some shim measuring, calculating, ordering, and installing to get the valve clearances right.

Good luck!
