Also does anyone know weather or not the head bolt have or are suppose to have washers?

get your self a new gasket for the head and torq the head

You might want to lap the head on some 400 grit sandpaper to make sure it isn't warped.
For the stripped head studs you either drop some new ones in or add/remove a washer to put some good treads for your nut to tighten down on.

I ordered a new head gasket , any suggestions on washer size? Ps thanks for the replys

Well the headstuds are roughly the same diameter of a bic pen.
Goto the hardware store (True Value is great for that stuff) and use a pen as a reference.

I seen some bolt kits on e bay and gaskets and stuff.. But like the other guy said make sure the head isnt warped...

It would also be a good idea to run a stone across your head if there are any rough/uneven spots, I've found it works much better than sandpaper.

I just looked deeper into it , the head studd is stripped out looks like someone used a vice grip on the stud when replacing it , anyone got a spar jug for sale? Less than .20 over or some head studs?

i have some used head studs you can have if you want them. if the studs have pulled out of the cylinder shoot me a PM and i will walk you thru how to fix that problem.
