I know for a 93 BMW 325is 2.5L DOHC 6chy. You might as well just go a head and buy the head gasket set it runs about 200$ at autozone. It comes with valve cover gasket, valve stem seals, and head gasket. But its also recommended to replace the cylinder head bolts also.

If replacing the head gasket on a 1994 Honda Civic EX do you need just the head gasket or the whole head gasket set?

yes, you should replace ALL gaskets that you come across. When you release pressure on a gasket, the seal has now been lifted. You need to place all new gaskets so they can set and create a new seal. if you are just doing the head gasket, not getting the head surfaced or doing any other work- then getting the head gasket and any others piece by piece will be more economical- the head set will include intake/exhaust manifolds, valve cover, valve stem seals, etc... the valve cover gasket can be re-used if in good condition (not hardened), and you can pull the head on the d-series motor with intake and exhaust manifolds attached


If a head gasket blows in a 350 GMC then do you have to rebuild the motor?

As with any hed gasket problem as long as you get to the problem early enough as to not have any further major damage happen due to driving/running the vehicle too long after the head gasket blows I would say no to a complete engine rebiuld. Oil must be drained and new oil filter replaced, cylinder head must be sent out whiile you are at it send out the good head too and have the magnafluxed for cracks, have the engine to head surface checked for cracks as well, replace as needed, install cylinder head gasket and intake gasket set retorque and or replace head bolts as per manufacturers specs....happy motoring.
