If thats a Metal head gasket thats a bit riski unless u o ringed the head or serviced it flat.. How much was the Gasket anyways.. And what did you do to the turbos..

The people at HKS said that the gasket will work fine without getting the head o-ringed, and I gave the head a very minor flat mill. Maybe .005", just to clean it up. I found out that in the box of spares that I got with the car, there was a new HKS gasket....lol, and after all of my worrying. I believe it is the thicker 1.6mm gasket. It was pretty thick, 2 thin steel layers as the outer layers, and one thick one in the middle. I also made all of the other gaskets required to put the motor together myself, since a complete gasket set is over $300 US. As far as the turbos, I have a spare 1GGTE motor, with lower miles on it than the one in the car, but it has a rod knock, so I took the turbos off of that motor and gave them a thorough cleaning. The car is running great!!!
