Blown Head Gasket repair w/pics

Just got back from the dealer and got screwed out of a cold start injector gasket and 2 copper sealing washers. I wasn't charged for them, but I specifically pointed out that gasket on the computer screen to the parts guy and he STILL manages to F that up. How do these people get jobs? Imagine if they worked in the service department, actually I'm sure they do.

And that new tensioner pulley was worth every penny. I thought my stock one was OK, still spinning good, only making a tiny bit of noise, yeah F that! A new one is like night and day compared to my used one. So anyone who is replacing their timing belt, I suggest you buy a new tensioner.

Here's the parts list as of today:

Cold start injector gasket
2 copper sealing washers
Auxiliary vacuum hose
Heater core inlet and outlet hoses
NGK spark plugs

That's it! Then I get to slap her back together and pray.
