As soon as I get a cherry picker I will be pulling the engine out of my 85 and giving it a once over, which includes a new head gasket because I have been having overheating problems. I can get a complete gasket kit from Felpro I think for around 120 bucks are the head gaskets any good, I will probably put a turbo on it later how much boost are these good for and what would you recomend that isn't super expensive I'm not a rich guy but I don't want to put junk in the car either.

One other thing in the past few months my oil pressure has really drop but everything seem to be running fine and the engine doesn't knock or anything what are the chance of the oil pressure sensor being bad, or what do you guys think the problem is.

Thanks for any Info you can give me.

if your already pulling the engine, get it surfaced for a metal head gasket and use the HKS one... dont forget tho, gotta get that surfacing done.

its not cheap, but if your going turbo, you might as well do it right.

when/if i turbo my car im just going to get the manifold and turbo from a MKIII turbo, and add a rising rate fuel regulator, among other things.
i cant remember off hand what all else is needed, but there are a few turbo write ups for 5mges around the web
