2001 Regal 3.8 Head Gaskets

[Ebene]

Ok I blew the head gaskets on my 01 regal with a 3.8. I have it torn down all the way to the head gaskets. My gasket kit just came in the mail.

Now this is my first time doing anything beyond changing brakes or oil. SO

I know there are certain bolts that can't be reused. Can somebody PLEASE tell me which bolts, what size or kind they are so I know what to tell the autopart store to give me, and what sequence and how much torque to apply to each respected bolt.

I'm in dire need of advice right now so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Before undertaking this, you should have gone to a library, or your local Buick dealer(they will let you copy manual pages)......

You will have to replace the 8 head bolts on each head, since they are torque to yield bolts....by that I mean, you torque the bolts a specific amount....then you rotate them a specific amount of degrees, for example, torque them 37 foot pounds and then rotate them an additional 120 degrees(each flat of a bolt is 60 degrees)....don't hold me to these specs, just a guess.....

The only free online site I know that may give specs, is Autozone.com....just have to register and create a password....then go to "My Vehicles", type in your vehicle and go to "Engine Mechanical"......
