    lol @ head bolts, flanges and head gasket and compression being lost.
    
    No you need manifold studs, manifold gasket and nuts as well as a lower wire ring gasket.

    If he bought the supersprint new it will come with a special fitting kit and possibly the wire ring, it uses M10 bolts like the raceland and it's own special springs.
