im gonna be changing my head and head gasket for mls gasket and 12.9 bolts but not sure how to go about putting the different head on as in getting it TDC and getting the cam belt right so i dont break anything, anyone know how to do this? pics would be a bonus, also what should i torque the head bolts up to?

as long as the H/G is no thicker than 3mm the stock belt is fine, otherwise the 128 teeth alternative will be required.
Torque the non stretch in stages, 20/40/60/80 LBS/FT in the usual sequence.
Ideally you'd use a vernier cam pulley to correct the timing discrepancy, but you may get lucky dude.
you still need a quote on that MLS btw ? been quoted 6 weeks lead in time ! USA maybe a good plan given your Tax Haven location
