Smoking Vents?

I hate to say it, but it may be a failed head gasket. Hope not, but keep that in mind and do a compression check.

Well it is a head gasket. So I have to get around to doing those asap. I was looking up some part #'s and such, and my question is now, should i change the head bolts as well when i change the head gaskets? A couple places recommended it, but I am not sure if it is absolutely neccesary
