There are a lot of posts on this as this is a common problem. You MUST have the head milled and make sure the block surface is extra clean from past gasket material. Check for warpage and cracks on the block surface as well as the head. Overlooking this could cause another BHG. You will be replacing more than just the head gasket, i.e. the EGR gaskets. Buy a gasket kit. Keep track of the bolts, and take notice what connectors go where. Have patience. Good luck

Thanx for the help! The only thing i need to know is where to order some ARP studs and bolts, it might be a stupid question, but its better to ask than to be sorry!

hi guys! I have a 1991 turbo that had blown head gasket, symptoms,..coolant overflow all over my driveway every time I drove it! I would overheat,..at stops lights etc...and cool down once I drove off,.but the telltale sign is after you park it the coolant fills the reservoir and overflows all over the ground..had the head gasget replaced along with the head being cleaned up and no problems since...
