sent you a pm of the hughes kit. its $120. I think most people get the replacement bolts for $22 also.

there is a kit on ebay that was floating around here also. I think someone bought it recently.

I have yet to repair mine, and I may just replace the gasket with a new one and see how it goes. mine is not using oil, but I can see a bit inside the intake.
