Default Car's feeling ill

Just had it recovered to beechdale subaru in derby for a head gasket problem...it won't be at any meets or so for another week at least.

Does anyone know where I can get an uprated headgasket from?

thanks

The bottom end will go next, always seems that way on the 2.5's after head gasket failure if the water mixed with the oil, get them to strip the bottom end and replace the shell bearings.

might be worth paying the extra if they cover the costs of getting engine out and HG work.
