The Felpro gasket from www.burtonpower.com is generally the most reliable mate.

ARP don't do head bolts for the ZVH but go to your local hardware store and buy some high tensile 12.9 rated cap head bolts, i think they are a 150mm long bolt with about 40mm of thread.
They should be torqued to about 75lb/ft, do not follow the sequence in the haynes manual as that is for stretch bolts.

Hope that helps a bit.

Matt.
