Help... my car is overheating

you need to have the head checked to see if it's warped .also check the block for smoothness
you shouldn't just replace the gasket .
going with a metal hg is not cheap and is really for someone who wants to go mental with boost
a stock gasket doesn't need the surface as smooth as a metal gasket . the stock gasket material is more forgiving of the block and head surface

tearing apart the head is really not as hard as you may think
just takes time, not really any special tools need a torque wrench

i used this guide when i did my 1st one ,, but i didn't go through the effort of preparing the block which is why I got to do it again.
