i cant use an oem head gasket can i ? ? ? ? what do i need to get? I have a friend that is a mechanic and will do the work for me (he fixes all of our hmmwvs in Iraq ) but what do i need to buy for gaskets? and from where?
IMHO don't screw around, just have DB do all the work (if you're not doing it yourself) and don't skimp on any details. Use the parts they recommend, and get it done right. Not that your buddy doesn't know what he's doing, but perhaps having DB do the work will uncover and solve any other mysteries that are hiding in there.

Also, if there's an old mutt turbo on there, chances are its shot. They were prone to dying an early death, and those haven't been produced in a *long* time!
