Gasket problems came be eliminated with the purchase of better gaskets :wink:
what's your take?
My brother about a month go called me on the phone and said that he saw a sunbird with a either a 1.8 or 2.0L OHC turbo engine.He was going to buy it for the GC but he said that the engine looked wrecked and that these engines were notorious for head gasket problems :evil: in other words he didn't buy it 
I wanted the engine so I can swap the 2.2L OHV with a powerhouse of an engine the OHC turbo. well i'm asking members of this site what they think of the engine because I want the car to have more power
P.S. later on in the year i'm nabbing a 2.8L V6 to put in the car

I think youre brother is pretty wise. That motor really looked bad. You would have had to tow it home , replace the head, have the turbo checked to see if its still good and then go through swapping everything over to the gc. Your brother is a smart man.
Oh by the way it was definitely a 1.8L turbo!imp:

IMO after owning 2 of them, each for very short periods of time, the only thing worth swapping the 2.0L OHC either turbo or non, is into the trash can.
