UPDATE:
Mike did a complete leakdown test on my motor and found that my exhaust valves are leaking by up to 22% in cyl 1, 2, 3! apperently the previous owner never adjusted the valves like he told me
or it could just be me beating the crap out of it and loving every moment haha (current mileage 50k). So what I have decided to do is have my head sent in for a 3 angle valve job, dual springs, ti retainers, surface, spring seats, and new seals. All Supertech.
So it looks like im going to have to add on another week on to the completion time guys.
The wait is killing me more than you know
But I know its going to be worth the wait.

Probably for the best. My 14 psi vortech setup didn't last too long. The head was the first thing to go.

I most definately am not ruling out the high probability that it has a lot to do with it that but at the same time every thread that I mention "C***** A*********" somehow ends up getting locked so for now Im not saying anything lol.
or C***** A********* cant install parts for sh**(you know)
this thread will get locked? Is that what you mean?
