Mate, I know it hurts, but to get reasonable answwers on this site, you MUST use punctuation and TRY and spell correctly.
Otherwise, the most knowledgeable people will just ignore you.

OK, how were these gaskets fitted? You SAID from the cylinder head, I ASSUME you mean from the cam cover?

Had the cam covers been off? What were the gaskets refitted with?

If the engine has got as hot as you say, prepare yourself for the worst.

The grade of oil SHOULDN'T make that much difference.

A word of advice: LOCAL GARAGE and SCOOB do not mix.

ALWAYS use a decent specialist, NOT a dealer. Or pay the consequences.

alright mate as i said the half moon gasket poped out so the rocker cover also known as cam cover had to come off to replace it so yes the cam cover has been off as far as i can see they have used some kind of blue sealer what oil is best for these as ive come up from an rs turbo and i know these are a hole new ball game
