Mate, 230,000k is nothing for one of these engines.

Get the headgasket fixed and maybe look at doing extractors and cam later on down the track.

and wat sorta price is a headgasket?

get yourself a regrind cam from wade for $200 then you can get second hand extractors for about $150..
Headgasket may be around $50 or so and a couple of hours fckin around getting it in...

Or so i've heard

When Pete/phatel did the headgasket on the EA, think it cost a couple hundred bucks. Thats doing the work yourself and buying a kit to do it.
