In the next few weeks I will have enough money to pay a good SR tuner to swap my head gasket (I'm not mechanically inclined to do headwork

), other than the head gasket itself, what else should I provide to the guy? I was browsing on Ebay and noticed this gasket set. I already know that I won't be using the head gasket from that kit, but would this be a good thing to purchase for him to use while the head is off? My plans are to just raise the boost on the t25 while having peace of mind on the motor. Not looking to do major work on the motor, I would just like a little rebuild done, would this gasket set help any with restoring compression? I may get some upgraded valve springs, but not sure yet. What should I provide to the tuner? Thanks.
