Default head gasket kit....

Whats happenin guys, where canfind these for a decent price?

I need a head gasket kit for my a 99 S70 T5. It needs to include; head gasket (obviously) cam seals all 3 and end cap (intake end), head bolts, thermostat housing gasketand o-ring, intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, rear hard pipe coolant line(back top left of head), cam cover sealant, o-rings for the cylinders(5), andvariable timing senor gasket. If i missed one let me know.

Q) this is the 2nd time I blew the head gasket. The car has 229,000 miles on it. Both times it blew was on the exhaust side, cylinder 4. What the hell is going on with it?

thanks let me know if anyone comes up with any ideas and distributors.

Make sure the cam cover sealant is genuine Volvo. Heard of people having problems with other stuff. It's about $29 a tube the last time I got some. I also went with genuine Volvo head gasket, but they do not sell a kit at the dealer. Had to buy each piece separate and they were very expensive. I also bought the head bolts there.
