The short of it-
Car over heated due to a failed T-stat. I shut the car down immediately and once it cooled down (many hours later) I drove it home. At the time I was going to pick-up a new radiator. I replaced the radiator and T-stat and everything seemed fine. Then I noticed some coolant on the floor a few days later, well last night I pressure tested the cooling system to find a leak in the head gasket. So, I'll replace the head gasket, but what else should I do while I'm in there. Car has about 130k.
New Schrick Cam?
Valve job?
Anything else?
What gains should be expected from the cam? Torque/ HP
Thanks
