I would not drive it as it can do more damage to the head and block plus if it over heats there is a chance it could seize up the engine. Are you using dished or flat top pistons? what compression are you after?

I would go with something like a 1.2mm then to be safe but saying that you will be taking the head off any way if you have low comp pistons you could go for something like the TRD 0.6mm thats what I will be using with my greddy TD05 set up. I would also recommend the ARP head bolts too but it may have them if your lucky!

There the same pistons as I am using so you would be fine with the 0.6mm TRD gasket there better for cutting down on turbo lag but with your set up I don't think lag would be a problem anyway.

id buy a full head set for a uk 4efe so that gives u all the gaskets for the inlet manifold, exhaust manifold, rocker cover inc rings and washers, cam seals etc
and buy a 1.2m steel gasket !
get the head skimmed/checked
buy some red antifreeze, oil and a filter , plugs if u think they need done. also the timing belt and inspect water pump !
and remember and set all dizzy timing etc after u finish !

Right car at garage the now! They said a put 2litre to much of oil in the car :O (tit a am),they said that could be the problem. Oil is clear not milky or that, heaters working as far as a member. No smoke out off exhaust more like condensation and car has only been started up few times in last 2 month for about ten minz max
