Hey guys ive had a mechanic friend look over my car test it appears my gaskets are gone on the compression or something ..
not sure but loks like im gonna have to get a new water pump/ timing belt / gaskets and seal .etc and its gonna cost me a sh*t load

is this the full set i will need to complete the repair?

ive been told i could possibly have a cracked head wont know untill he opens it up .. if thats the case.. can you get new heads ? or 2nd hand ones ? any info would be great. this will be my first headgasket repair..
(is it worth just buying a 2nd engine instead?)
thanks guys.
