Any way... the head gasket was warped but it wasn't doing any damage because it had only warped from the main problem and not bad enough to fudge crap up.
So I've got to replace the head gasket, fix the tubing, check one of the rockers (two valves were replaced), replace the timing chain and put the engine back together.

So simple... And i assume your not doing it yourself?
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching.
