This might help you out,,might not. People sell Z18's as Z18T's with a turbo on the side,,now the heads are the same but the pistons are different.. one of my freinds allways blew head gaskets on his Z18T. I then brought a siliva with Z18T and sold him the engine,,,,a few months later the head gasket blew,,so off with the head to see the difference ,quite a lot,,, put on a new head gasket and its been sweet since.
the Z18T gasket blew cos it was old, Z18 with a turbo blow all the time.
