Default Steam out the stbd exhaust...

SH%T Steam, antifreeze smell, yep blown headgasket...Damn

Got on it real hard through 2-3, let off made a few turns came to a stop and she didn't quite sound right, and then the steam and smell.

Nursed it home, never overheated, was runnning a tad rough but not horrible.

I've torn it down to the point where i am ready to pull the heads. Really pretty easy to work on: The engine is a Coast HP stroked 351 (427) with AFR heads, roller cam/rockers.

Questions:
What head gaskets?
SOurce for reassembly torques?
How does one put the rockers back together?
Trustworthy place to take the head in east SF bay area?

Thanks
