Got the engine out my ZT to replace cambelts and clutch etc.

I want to change the head gaskets while its out. Is there anything particular I need to know about with the KV6? Such as different thickness gaskets etc.

Do KV6 heads need skimming when changing the head gaskets, and can the head bolts be re-used?
