Hi i had the same problem overheating but with white smoke out of the exhaust and it turn out to be the head and not the gasket don't let them change the headgasket without doing a Pressure test mine was a pin hole in one of the ports on the head so I went for the conversion to a 1.9 with the jx turbo.which for me was Cheaper because I do all my own labour.
