As for your head gasket probelm, did you replace the studs that hold the head on, they are torque to spec, meaning they strectch out when you torque them down. So if you re-use them you will not get the original "true" torque reading.

yea i know..i torque them down about 10 more pounds if i re use them..i was told it would be ok by a mechanic so i guess it is...i think i skipped torquing them down tho..i tightened them with the ratchet nad socket but when i put it back on the frame i skipped over tightining them more because it wouldnt move on the frame...i think i just forgot that part..lol..o well..i need to go get some new gaskets anyway..ill prolly just go get a honda head gasket and im needing that oil ring seal on the inside of my cdi case to...its leaking pretty bad
