having a little issue...

I hope things get figured out soon for you kid, But I have to say I have learned allot on this thread. Do you have a picture of your head gasket you can share with us ?
and was it a copper gasket, it almost looks like 5 and 6 on the head was leaking to each other, But I am sure you would have seen it if it was.

i didn't have any buing on the block but i'll take better pic tonite.
as for the pistons im looking for like a 9.75 comp or so. so incuding pistons im looking @ like 800bucks to have the block bored and honed, balance the rotating assembly...

kinda hard to come up with that right now
