Q:
A: The Datsun 1200 engine was never designed to be turbocharged, so you are asking it to do things that are difficult.
You may have better luck if you reduce the boost on the turbocharger. Changing the pistons to reduce the compression ratio would also help. This may be necessary because it sounds like the head has been machined, which usually increases the compression ratio.
Finally, whenever changing a head gasket on any engine, you must check the mating surfaces with a straight edge and carefully tighten the new head bolts (don't re-use the old bolts!) with a high quality torque wrench following the proper sequence. (answered by gearhead4 on February 09, 2606)
