OK, so I need to tear into my engine to change lifters because it seems there is one lifter in there that is pumping up and causing a minor problem. While I have it apart I may pull the cylinders and check the rod bearings. Now here are the questions...

Do I need the full kit or the top end kit?

Do I want 0.030 or 0.040 head gaskets?

Should I just buy:
Base, head, rocker box, rocker cover, exhaust, intake gaskets and whatever is used on the pushrod covers?

Any specific Hylomar formula that works better than others for this type of engine or just get the standard Universal Blue?

Finally, where is a good place to buy these gaskets? American Sport Bike did not list them.
