Depends if pattern is good enough, got a lot in paypal at the moment so I want to stock up to do the valve stem seals & exhaust manifolds in the summer.
So every few weeks I'll buy a few parts :y
Payern not pattern :-[

When His Holiness 'assisted' me with my HG, he advised me what to get:
Some Elring HG and valve stem seals (£20 from eGay)
Cam Cover Gasket set (genuine) (£60 ish from OOF shop)
Exhaust gasket (genuine - multilayer type) (few £ each)
o ring for coolant trasfer pipe
dowty washers for coolant bridge
sealing washers for oil cooler pipes
Additional things to consider whilst there:
cambelt and waterpump
replacing or resealing stat

Think i have remembered it all, if not I'm sure The Great One will correct me shortly...

Got a stat and hope to get water pump and cam belt - potentially doing it at next cambelt party

Doubt you'd have time to strip to that far, refurb heads, and refit?
MDTM - not exactly the slowest person here - spent from 8:30am - 7pm ish just replacing my HGs and stat :o, and he had preprepared a set of heads to go on
