What should I do?

I want to do a camswamp w/ a lt4 hotcam and I also think I may have a small leak in a head gasket which only leaks on startup (or before driving it, after there is no white smoke). My water pump is also crapping out. Do you think I should just do them all at once? Or put a new pump on it, drive it for a little while and see if my coolant level still goes down and then pull the heads, since its obviously a headgasket? I am only going to do a cam swamp if I need to pull the heads since the intake needs to come off and parts of the heads. Help me I dont know what to do

Re: What should I do?

Anyone have a head gasket install guide? Should I just buy a head gasket kit which comes w/ all the necessary gaskets? Where can I get one? I want to learn everything before I dive into a project and **** it up like I did valve seals..I ended up doing them 3 times!

Thunder Racing sells a complete gasket kit to do a head/cam change. I have also heard that you can save a few bucks by buying the gaskets individually from Jason Cromer or Dal.
