they probably don't cost much for a set of them, but given they come with headgasket sets and all the other head seals and you more than likely will end up with the head off to do the job, headgasket set from GSF is about Ԛ£50-Ԛ£60 I think

you can do them without taking the head off but is sounds like a bit of messing trying to stop the valves dropping
