Head Gasket?
Ok, here is the problem. First off, the car is a 95Z with 107,000 miles on it. Yesterday the car overheated caused by the accessory belt not pulling hard enough for the alternator to keep a running charge, thus causing my water pump to only work while I accelerate. After I replaced the belt and fired her up, she was running rough. The idle rpms were perfect but from idle to about 4000 rpms the car felt like there was no power and feeling sluggish as if a piston was misfiring. So before I could get the car home today to take a look at it I was driving in traffic and the car starts to get hot again. A few minutes later I see white smoke coming from the back off the car. At this point I’M sitting at a light and the temp gauge is just over the top, so as soon I can get off the road I do. Popped up the hood and see oil on the top back passenger side of the engine. My guess is that I blow a head gasket or crack a head causing the white smoke and possibly the sluggish ride. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I think I’M going to take the heads off and take a look at them and replace the gaskets. Thanks for your help!
Yes change the oil as soon as you can. Other wise you will be doing bearings to 
I am kind of unclear on what your question is here? Sounds like you are headed in the right direction.
I have had the best luck with the FelPro 1074 head gaskets. and stock intake gaskets. The one time I used the FelPro intake gaskets I sucked them in at the bottom. This caused stange running problems
Good luck!

The question I was having is if I diagnosed the problem right. Also just want some feedback from other people who have might have had similar problems.
I do need one more thing though. Anyone have a website with the torque specs and bolt order for the heads? Thanks again for all the help!
