7m is a tough motor when built right,

I made over 300rwhp on just 13psi with mine, even if the HG was done, factory is not good enough,

I have gone through 3 Headgaskets on various 7m's..

Best thing to do.
1. Get a steel head gasket (cometic do em for $200 ish)
2. Get ARP head studs.. ($276 from memory)
3. Get head machined
4. Prep block yourself, takes time, but saves money.
5. Never have BHG issues again

I ran 17psi on my factory turbo and drove the car HARD every day, no HG issues..
