Watch out when choosing your headgasket.
There are 3 sorts (not looking at Kometic/WRC-ones):

1) standard headgasket, 1st generation (YB0611)
2) group A headgasket
3) standard headgasket, 2nd generation (YB1261)

I'd go for option 3, these are stronger and they have extra metal rings near the channels on the corners.

Thanks m8.
She's now in pieces, at least the engine is.
Been saving for parts last months, my new 200 block will arrive today.

In a few weeks I'll post some part pics on a post.
