Well, after having my head gasket blow a second time in a month, I took it back to the place that did it originally. They looked at it, confirmed it was blown and began work. I call back today and the owner of the shop tells me that he was in contact with his buddy from toyota (that works on his race car with him) and the owner of the head gasket company that was used for the original oem type head gasket. Well, the gasket was blown around the oil return (or w/e it is)... so the shop got me a brand new fel-pro head gasket, and used arp head bolts torqued to spec for the new job. They are also offering me a free retorque in 500km just so this doesnt happen again! All this didnt cost me a dime and couldnt be happier to have the shop look after their mistakes!

That's really good news! I'm happy with the shop that's done work for me too- reasonable prices, quality workmanship, and the willingness to allow you to hang around while they're working to see what they do. Really great guys- Napa Machine Shop in Petersburg, VA. Too bad you're in FL, SupraDerk, or I'd suggest that you go to them. :p Good luck with finding one!

ya only reason I ever went to this shop in the first place was because the previous owner of my car had the motor rebuilt there 8 years ago.. all the police cars get their service work done there aswell, so that gave me some confidence. They are a performance oriented shop that has been around for 30+ years and I have yet to hear anything bad about them! I will probably be going back to them if anything ever happens or I need more work done. (rear main seal is leaking a bit... so that's next :S)

So far i'm happy tho haha
