So I am guessing i do have to take my head to a machine shop? Or can I just replace the head gasket? By the way, there wasnt oil all over my engine bay... but there was a trail of smoke.
I already talked to Sebba about that post on aim... lol!

i have a grumble noise when i semi floor it, but i accelerate like hell, but its' my cold air sucking some air, but i would agree in taking it to get machined before you put it back on.
my friend had a grumble noise from his cold air, but when it stopped he threw a rod on his car.

EMonz why is he better off taking it to a machine shop?

the head doent need repairing. All you have to do is prepare the surface of it. So just get the metal showing with a polishing kit or maybe something a little rougher. Just make sure the surface is fresh.

All right I'm going to make it simple for the understanding here.
Block:
|
|
|
Head:
\
\
\
Now try to put the 2 together and this is what you get:
|\
| \
| \
See how the head isn't touching the block at the bottom agian? (Turn it sideways to look at that drawring) Now yours won't be THAT bad. I exagerated for sake of demonstration. That means you'll have a bad seating surface and a weak point for the head gasket to blow again. So take it in to a machine shop and get the head checked and surfaced ONLY if necessary. ALSO REPLACE THE HEAD BOLTS. They are a Torque To Yield bolt. That means when you torque it down it stretches the threads and gives it a 1 time use.
