Anyone know about 1.8 zvh turbo conversions?.

He had a felpro gasket on there for 20k then the oil pump siezed so had a rebuild.
Used another felpro which lasted running in and set up on rollers then a week later coolent started going dark and tested positive for hydrocarbon.
Then switched to cometic on advice from sitech I think and had the same issue ( at that point I did ask if his block had been decked etc as I remember block and head needed to be good for the all metal type gaskets which it had been).
He then went back to felpro but made his own stud and nut kit and it's been fine since.
