Well I blew a head gasket because the PO rebuilt the engine but left a small piece of rag in the engine when he rebuilt it and it got caught in a coolant passage. Its my first time rebuilding an engine and was a lot of fun. I upgraded the intake and added roller rockers as well as installed the side pipes too
