2G Replacing head bolts

[98eclipse2015]

Hello I got a 98 Mist eclipse rs and I will be doing a gasket replacement kit. I know a few things and the things I need to get the job done and I been reading about it's best to replace the head bolts right? And what bolts are we talking about? I know the valve cover had 8 well that what I counted on mine am I missing any? Reason why I ask is because on ebay I'm seeing bolts that comes with like 13 of the same size and some come with shorter ones with long ones. If anyone can help that be great what I'm needing hi know is what bolts should be replaced and what I am seeing on ebay am I getting extra bolts or? Giving a link to the right ones from ebay or something wold help the most thanks.

I would love a turbo but as you may already know ppl say its pointless because the cost would be high and might as well save up and get a GSX right now I'm just trying to repair and tune up this car pretty much flip it and resell it for the car I want and I know a turbo in my car would be possible but it would take a lot of time and money. The head don't look damaged I do have a oil leak and did some reading and it really sounds like the head so I was just going to get a gasket set and replace them all or alot of them most likely all than that's when I read about the bolts being replaced I got the car from a teenager and really didn't give me info on what he already did or didn't so I'm doing it all so I know it's all been done and when it comes down to resell I can show what's been done and when at what miles ect

Valve cover gasket. Replace that since it's cheap an easy.

But do what everyone else has said and you should be able to find what's going on with it. Also for compression test, remove spark plugs and wires, disconnect the coil pack, and take out the mpi fuse so you don't spray fuel everywhere. I'm not sure where the plug for the coil pack is on the 420a so I can not help you on that but mpi should be under the Hood and not under the dash

Yes that's how you do a compression test same basic principal. You can rent a compression tester at a local parts store like auto zone
