Help fixing my 1997 Saturn SL2 DOHC?

My brain has stopped functioning, can you please help my with the anatomy of my car.

The first cylinder of the engine has a compromised seal between the head and the DOCH, what is it called?

When I remove the DOHC, what parts will I need to replace? I assume I will need to replace the seals of each cylinder, and one that goes around the whole apparatus.

Thank you for any help.

I pretty sure your talking about the Head gasket.(your car is smoking?)and for the cylinders it would be the piston rings and the Oil ring. You need a certain tool to compress the rings on though. Hope This helps

I believe your going to have to buy the head gasket kit in order to get the parts that your looking for. I know that you have to have the valve cover gasket (seal) you also will need the rubber seals that go around the spark plug holes, your also going to need the (END CAP)seals as well. The end caps are what holes the cams down, there's bolts running through them that holes them into place.
