Well, the car's back on the road again. And, I may be wrong....I haven't driven it in about a month after the head gasket blew.....but it certainly feels much stronger.

Turns out that the pcv oil baffle on the lower intake wasn't there. I bought it used and it's apparent that one was never even installed on it. And of course, I never noticed this. Duh.

And it was definately dumping oil in atleast #5 and #8 cylinders pretty significantly. So, we've got her buttoned up now....with a baffle freshly installed on the intake , and an oil seperator for extra insurance. I'm gonna drive it for as many miles as I can before carrying it back to the dyno. It needs a little more tuning. It has a bit of a stumble that needs to be worked out. And I'm sure the tune needs to be changed now that I don't have two weak cylinders.

I'll keep this thread updated and try and start uploading dyno sheets also once I get back to the dyno.
