I am sure its something to do with reinstalling that manifold and also all that cutting he did to it. Might have cut a hole in it somewhere which let coolant flow everywhere.
but if the head did lift it could have popped a coolant plug like Real Street did and that explains the coolant issue.

tested the fuel pump relays.... and the super loud ticking noise is DEF coming from the relays... so i went from... bad fuel pumps to possibly bad relays... today is better 
now i need to figure out if the problem is my wiring or burned up relays.
also did a coolant pressure test and i did NOT get any coolant in cylinders 3 and 4.. which would lead me to believe i was right about my intake manifold. next step there is to take the intake off.. have it milled and get a new intake gasket.
i might be good to go with a few minor fixes!

havnt updated here in a while. here is what iv been up to...
replaced headgasket (stock)
put in ARP headstuds
powdercoated intake mani black
milled the surface of the intake mani.(long story)
put A/C stuff back in (finally getting the relocation kit)
picked up some spike bolt stuff
decided to change up the gauge situation...lol
my phone cant seem to get the color of the valve cover (its super bright). the spike bolts..
found a huge set of balls this morning and drilled out my dash. i only have 2 gauges that match so only a teaser for now. i will say that it looks awesome! im super happy with it. glad to get rid of the stupid pillar pod..(ps someone buy mine, its posted for sale)
