anc head

[curb]

hi just bought a anc cylinder head kit from roughtrax. its the first time i have dealt with them and i found them really helpfull and very pleasent. they sent it direct to the garage that will be replaceing the head and they received it the very next day. i also bought new filters (oil, air and fuel) and top and bottom rad hoses. included in the kit are new head bolts, gaskets and timing belt
is there anything else i should look at replacing while this work is being done?
it had a new radiator 2 years ago and the waterpump was replaced last year
what is the general concensus regarding the anc cyl head ?
the symptons for replacing the suspect cyl head are
continued coolant loss
gunge in the oil filler cap
burble for a few seconds when first start up
smoke/vapor from exhaust (sometimes not always)
the thermostat has been replaced and cooling system flushed top hose hot bottom hose cold but cant get no heat in the car yet both heater hoses hot
heaterfan blowin and all directions ok ie sreen, floor and face
your help and advice much appreciated
i know u know
thanks
