I did mine a few thousand miles ago. I did:

arp head studs 90ft/lbs
permatex copper spray
felpro hg
retorque after a few heat cycles

I used JIS rebuild kit. and i had the head milled.

thats what i did. except the copper spray, how does that work?
i guess ill just replace it and hope it doesnt happen again.

I don't know about the JIS gasket kit. Aren't they sold on ebay? I wouldn't worry except for the hg, I wouldn't skimp there. The felpro kit is like $220 on rockauto.com and from what I saw when I put it in, it is of quality equal to oem. The spray is sold at almost every parts store and should be applied to both sides of the gasket before install.
