Blown head gasket?

i will have to do it myself. I couldnt even imagine how much it would cost to have a mechanic do it. I have a lot of experience but mostly with old domestics. I had a 89 accord that i put a head gasket on and changed out the tranny and a few other minor things and I rebuilt the izusu motor in my LUV but other than that I havent worked on any imports. I will probably be on here a lot during this process. I just took the intake and valve covers off. The bolts wernt even tight on the valve covers. There is white gunk (water) all in there. not good. How much do you guys usually see the head gasket kit for? Plus bolts. I priced them at autozone, kragen and rebies and they ran from 150-350 i almost shit my pants. Thanks again for the help.
