Re: Head gasket or engine overhaul? '87 5kcstqw

do the headgasket -- it's worth it, and you can't turn back now especially
since you've put a significant amount of $$$ into it.

you can purchase a gasket set from BLAU, GPR, or Impex for around $150.
While you're having the head gasket done -- might as well do the exhaust
manifold gasket.. It's too bad that you already did the h20 pump and head
gasket since those things are typically replaced when the head is blown.
It just happened backwards for you.


another option is to turn that wagon into a powerstroker by dropping a new
20V Turbo into it -- but that'll run ya approx. $12-15K

Good Luck -and HTH!
