If it were mine...

I would purchase an Elring gasket set (and not the less expensive Scan Tech offering) and pull the head. Check it for electrolosis damage as well as plane and have a clean up cut taken on it if it was out more than .004.

I would lap the valves (in 25 years of red block work I have only ever had one valve that needed ground or replaced)and replace the stem seals and hushers. I would set the valves.

Install your almost new waterpump, new front seals, new rear main seal, maybe a tensioner, and a timing belt.

New Orings on the oil cooler and extra attention and new seal on the oil return line between the block and turbo. Clean up the opening on the block and the end of the return line. Install a new seal with RTV and then fill the seam between the block and the line with RTV once the other end is bolted to the turbo.

I would install OEM exhaust gaskets and put it in the car with new motor mounts.

Good luck.

Randy
