More pics:

But I dont understand whats wrong with the head gasket. But as you can see in the pics, there is oil in on one of the pistons. And when you look under the head, there is oil leaking from one of the exhaust valves.

(sorry about the pics. I cant figure it out. I think Paintballproam is gonna post them for me) LOL!

those graphite gaskets suck, MLS seems to be the way to go.
i think someone needs to loan this guy a repair manual so he can learn how to work on his car a little easier. do i need to take pictures and write up a "how to" on locking down the timing belt tensioner and installing it.?
