lol wow. Anyways, first off, what kind of hg did u buy. Second you need ALOT more gaskets than just the hg. Third arps are easy to install and technically if your doing the hg you shouldnt re-use the stock head bolts. There likely to stretch and result in another falure. So buy the arp's anyway. Fourth, if ur hg is 1.7mm thick, its most likely a metal hg, so you WILL need to send your block and head out for deck'ing. Fifth, dont go with a mbc get a electronic bc. Greddy profec's are cheap and even spec 2 profecs arent that expensive. All of this info could have been found in ihatehack's bhg install thread. I recommend finding it and studying it. This job is pretty staight forward if you know what your doing and you do your research.
