:biglaugh: ill try things have been going along pretty well I need to send my stuff to a machine shop as soon as i get my hands on a new crank.

Thake it back & have it cut some more before you go any further.IHI-RHC7 said:Explain to your machinest that you are using a try metal head gasket, and that they need to actually surface the deck of your block.
