As far as I know Sprinters have aluminium heads so get it checked for warping and get it skimmed before you just put a new gasket on

well we did it...
did not skim it... found were it was blowing... so was happy to risk it...
so far so good... we did make sure the engine was stone cold before removing the headbolts in a spiral manor.
