Quick question. I'm buying the parts now, should I get valve seals and locks with new valve springs, retainers, head studs, etc?

Valve Seals - Always recommendedOriginally Posted by Nchristopherson
Valve Locks - Re-use
Valve Spring - L76 (very cheap and perfect for VS cam)
Retainers - L76 (LS style retainers also very cheap)
Head Studs - No, you will not be taking the heads off the car to do this work. Do not pull the heads off the block unless you absolutely have to.

I got an oil change at a certified GM dealer, knowing they would look over it trying to sell services to me, and he said my valve cover gaskets, sc gasket, LIM gaskets, and possibly my head gaskets were bad. The car makes full boost and doesn't ever feel like a dog, do you think my head gaskets are still good? I'm not afraid to pull the heads off while I am doing all of this other stuff just to be safer than sorry.
