Search under "headgasket". There will be sooo much info your head may explode! Read what others have done/gone through. As far as some suggestions of what to do with the head off:

-Get MLS headgasket f/dealer(of course)
-Use ARP Head Studs to secure head
-Change everything with regards to the timing belt(new idler pulley, tensioner pulley, tensioner, and timing belt)
-Depending on the mileage of the engine, you may wanna replace the water pump
-Probably wanna get a new upper gasket kit

I realize that all this depends on the dough, but changing everything out now that you can will hopefully mean that you won't have too many problems in the future.

I would suggest that you check out www.partsdinosaur.com for all your timing belt needs. The prices are more than reasonable and shipping is pretty quick. If you are going to change the timing belt you should change the water pump at the same time. No sense preventing the t-belt from popping only to have the water pump seize and shred the t-belt.
