Yea that's correct . U can keep buying turbos that last 50,000km or buy a decent one. If u can't afford a decent new kit, look for a decent 2nd hand one Well I plan to run my set up on gas research with twin converters.don't know yet how I'll get someone to tune that one up for me. I'll work it out.

au head gasket from ford $105
head bolts from wollongong auto suppliers $30 a set. ford wanted bolts @ $6.50 ea f**k that. seems to be holding. no leaks. did the xr6 blow a head gasket ?? also torque the bolts 30nm the 120* as your using a au head gasket. instead of the e series 40nm 90*

Nah the brothers EF has blown it, he reckons its easier just to change the whole motor but Id rather just do the head and a couple other gaskets then throw it back together as he just abuses it everyday so no point on my behalf of bothering with an AU conversion.

yea make sure you use the au gasket, as you'd already know
 id go a head gasket swap any day over a motor change. atleast when doing a head gasket you dont have to get under the car and undo the bellhousing bolts. i had to get under it to take off the fuel rail, made it easier to get to the bbm bolts.

you can get them pretty clean but its soo much easier to just replace, and you cant ever get an old one looking new
