That seems like a hell of a deal, all of those parts alone are worth quite a bit.

Put the car away for a while and reconsider, after you cool down.

Yes, I have receipts, if not LR can print more copies.

Never run over 16 psi always get 91 or 93 octane with some 101 mix or octane booster. So far all I've found is a loose coupling on the compressor inlet. Was just cruising down the highway and it started running rough on the exit ramp, stopped at stop sign. Noticed a little smoke just before leaving stop sign. At light one mile away had to stop and white smoke engulfed the car. A little gas and smoke let up a little. But idled rough. Drove it 1 more mile home without any stops. Didn't smoke nearly as much driving and ran smoother above idle. It didn't get hot, oil pressure normal. When home, reservoir empty opened to let pressure off, was none. About 1/4 inch extra oil on dipstick, and looks like new oil no froth. Pulled hard pipes there is a little coolant in throttle hard pipe and throttle side of intercooler. Haven't pulled any plugs yet to see which one is clean as a whistle.

With the parts on this car and the extras $10K is a steal.

LR hasn't done anything to this car but change the oil since the final tune after the first 2000 miles. And I have been running 16 psi of boost for the last 2500 miles which included 2 autocrosses and a road trip ripping to and thru Hill Country in Texas. It seems to me if anything was going to let loose that would be a warranty issue, it would have happened long before mile 4500. Especially a head gasket on an o-ringed head!

Without any hint of disrespect I always saw you as one of the Lindsey poster boys. You seemed so happy to have your build up and running. Let me tell you that I've had way more problems than this over the last year or so, and I'd agree that you should take stock in the morning or a few days time. That is if you really want to keep it. Seems as if you haven't had much time to enjoy all the time and money that's gone into the build is all.
Best of luck whatever you chose.
