ok basically in a head gasket set, or de-coke set, you normally get the head gasket, inlet and exhaust manifold gaskets, valve stem oil seals, start housing gasket rocker cover gasket etc etc etc worth getting one of these kits instead of just head gasket, best to replace all gaskets if they're disturbed

i agree with baxter lol

the answer to your question a head set is usually every gasket and seal you will come across when doing the head gasket change and sometimes the head bolts. if the head bolts dont come with it get new ones and while your there change the cam belt aswell.

just remember that you MUST change the head bolts for new ones when ever the head comes off cos they are stretch bolts and the head wont torque up to the tight vatue with the old ones causing the head gasket to go again or at worst the bolt shears off in the head when you are doing them up

Make sure you drain the engine as soon as pos otherwise ur pistons and valves etc will gather rust!!!

Judging by the amount of smoke ur getting I'd say its gone pretty bad, U'll need to get the head skimmed as well.
