Head gasket Questions

[Mr.Mash]

Well im pretty sure the head gasket has gone, It's overheating, loads of little bubbles coming out the radiator and it has a little wee every time i stop,
What i need to know is
1 Are the head bolts reusable?
2 Do i need to do the base gasket at the same time seeing as the head bolts go through the barrels in to the crank casing?
3 Where is the best place to get the bits from as im off work all this week and want to get it done asap?

Cool , Cheers for the quick reply I shall have the engine out tonight and get the gaskets and any valve shims ordered on monday,
I read on here somewhere that cradley are slacking a bit lately cant remember when i read it though, Is that the case or are they still the best place to get stuff from?

cradley supply nearly everyone anyway .. just give them a ring, it might take two days, but at least the parts will be correct.
