Its Carbed and yes I mean head bolts. I actually cleaned battery posts+air filter+spark plugs and she is starting okay now. First crank. The posts were so corroded the alternator wouldn't charge the battery at all. I will check if it starts better tomorrow morning with out being plugged in, its supposed to be -20 so we will see.

So you need head bolts because you want to pull the head and change the head gasket?

Turned out I didn't need any of the items I thought I did. The oil leak was just the Valve cover not being torqed in at all, like the bolts were able to be finger tightened. She doesn't leak oil anymore. I will have to do Valve Guide Seals though, sometime in the near future.
