I get free service at my school, but I pay for parts.

I was thinking head gasket for sure. Also I might squeeze or else go turbo within a year (MIGHT) so should I get a thicker head gasket or no. I have 44,000 miles on my car, maybe I should just get timing belt taken care of now while it is free.

What else?

getting a thicker head gasket will lower compression.. which is great for when you have a turbo.. but if you're still NA, at the best, it won't change performance.. but most likely it'll just hurt your performance.

Just make sure whoever does the free labor knows what they are doing...

if i were u, i would do 60k maintenance, it usually runs from 400-1200 dependin on where, and the parts needed run from 200-600.

fak satan, do what u can, and learn as much as you can!!!!

did i already say fak satan??

good luck

Make a list of things to do...the more labor intensive it is the better....you could even take your list to local shops to see how much you'll be saving. I swear labor for my head gasket was something like $300, but I can't remember specifically. If your head hasket isn't leaking, don't bother it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it"). You could upgrade the bottom end, a stroker kit, cam gears, UDP, cam shafts, installing a turbo would be great w/o labor cost...
