Im gonna try to pull the head of tonite. I think im gonna throw a 10 dollar felpro gasket on it to make sure the block aint cracked first. I dont want to spend 60 dollars on a head gasket to find a cracked block or head or something.

Those aint to hard to pull the head off of anyways.

Well i found a whole free turbo motor from a guy my dad knos so i pulled the head off it and had it checked. Thay cleaned it, magnafluxed it, installed cam bearings, fixed one crack, checked the valve springs and ground the valves for 245 dollars. I think i got a good deal. Anyways its runnin pretty good for now.
