while youre there, put in headstuds. unless you want to reuse the stock bolts.
i didnt realise we were under a parts conservation effort, and needed to so strictly ration parts.

Leakdown test, and compression test will give you a good idea of whats going on inside, before you open it up. and just get a stock head gasket...no sens in spending all that money unless you're doing crazy boost.

Ok, Im getting a radiator pressure tester today, Im going to see if this thing spikes...To me if the radiator is getting compression from one of the cylinders It should be above what a radiator should normally see (correct me if Im wrong)
If so, Im not sure if I plan on going turbo...I had talked with dave about it, but its going t be my girls car and she has a lead foot already...and I dont want her dead.
so I think stock headgasket is the way to go....
