I'm looking at a '91 Carat (automatic, A/C) that looks great, but both head
gaskets are leaking. It's got 130K on it and nothing has been done to it
except for regular oil and filter changes. It has been sitting in a
driveway for a few months and it fired right up. I will test drive it
tomorrow, I didn't have time today.
To get an accurate assessment of how much it will cost me, I'm trying to
get together a parts list of what should be replaced while I am doing the
head gaskets. I don't want to go overboard and replace EVERYTHING, but I do
want to be thorough. Anything I should add to my list?

Head Gaskets
sealant
water pump
hoses (which ones?)
plugs
wires
distributor cap
pushrod seals
belts

Thanks,
Joel
