1. There is no sump gasket. Just sealant
2. Yes FAI stuff is good quality in my experience
3. The xsi exhaust gasket will be fine
4. Check the piston rings. Don't want to make the same mistake that I just did. Easy to get the pistons out once the heads off
5. Do NOT turn the engine over without the head. You will lift the liners out and then it's all got to be taken apart to reseal them.
