I wouldn't trust anyone putting a hg on my car. I owuld have to do it myself so that I know it was done the way it should be. not saying someone else wouldn't do it properly but at least you would have the positive feeling.

Well i just found out from the previous owner that he did it himself whenever and i highly doubt the headstuds were ever retorqued. So im gonna go ahead and replace the headgasket. I do plan on going with a new turbo setup...will it hurt the car if i limp it around for 2 weeks until it gets here?

^ Probably. Just check at every stop to make sure things aren't getting to bad. I would change the oil after a week just to be sure that part is good to go. 30 bucks for an oil change is cheaper then 3k for a shortblock.
