heres my prob i just put my eng back to gether full rebuild new gaskets,main and rod bearings, ARP studs,and hks MHG. when we did the first start up after a few minuts idleing it was milk shaked so we pulled it back apart and MHG was perfict...but cylinder #6 had some water in it and no carbon on the piston like the rest, there is some pitting and a wear ring near the BDC in the cylinder wall and where thinking it might be craked so im geting it checked asap...but i know i didnt get the head or block resurfaced to begin with, but will now any way...I want to reuse the MHG since it was only ran for a cpl miniuts do i need to still take off the vitron ( is it the black coating on the MHG )

all i know is it was a HKS 1.5mm as for the MHG...it look grate there is an out line of where it was seald or seated when it was put on kinda left an out line of the head on one side and block on the other side...im gessing the viton is the BLACK coating in the MHG
