Head gasket????

[Swifty1638]

doing a HG sin't that expensive. just the cost of a headgasket and an intake mani/exhaust mani gasket, and machining the head if you want it decked. timing belt can be reused (depending on how old it is/condition)

sounds like you have more issues then just a headgasket though.

I saw 1G big rods mentioned on one of the invoices, was it rebuilt twice? I didn't see what compression the pistons were on the invoices, just 0.020" over.

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!
