    that’s good to know, hopefully they do light resurfacing and not a lot of shaving. Will let you all know when it’s put back together lol.

    as for the brake booster, I’ll tackle that when the time comes, like this headgasket lol.

    I had the cold start knocking about 80k miles ago, only this time, it caused misfire and coolant leak. So when you do get the first symptom, you’ll likely need a new HG in the future. (y)

    I did have a partner to film with but we live too far apart and so it didn’t work out :cry:

    So out of all the gasket and o-ring left, I’m stumped on where this o-ring goes.

    I think it may be the ECT sensor o-ring, but my old head has a welded gasket on the side, the new head doesn’t have a welded gasket sticking out, it’s flushed. So I assume this o-ring is for the ECT sensor, what do you guys think???

    EDIT: ok after checking, it might be it :ROFLMAO:
