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.
