And this is the new head (casting) with all my old valves, springs, lifters etc installed. I had a head specialist do this for me just to make sure everything was done properly and all tolerances etc were correct. It cost me $2k flat, which included a multi layer metal Monotorque gasket(around $300 on it's own) The head specialist seemed to think that the old gasket wasn't the correct one for a Turbo motor either, so if you do a rebuild make sure you get the right gasket and pay attention to the number of holes(edge of gasket firewall end)because that indicates the grade of gasket that you will need to put it back together(unless you are intstalling your old head casting shaved, and/or block machined) otherwise you need to check tolerances and may need a heavier gasket.
