Replacing head studs

A bit of advice please guys,

I have an 1988 930, it has an oil leak from the join between the #5 cylinder and the block. The leak is bad enough to be refused a roadworthy certificate so I need to fix it.

I am guessing that it is probably a broken head stud (after reading similar posts, but I will confirm it). If it is a broken stud head stud I plan to replace them myself. I would prefer no advice like "while you have it out rebuild the entire engine" as the car has only 30k on it.

I am planning to remove the engine and remove the P&C then replace all head studs with steel 993 studs, then replace the P&C as a unit. I figure this to be the most straight forward method.

any constructive advice is welcome (such as checking the case to see if it needs to be machined, check the valves....)

I have all of Waynes books, the Bentley, the Haynes, and the Factory Worksop Manuals.

Thanks in advance

also, can anyone tell me which gasket kit I will need for this?
