I wish I could help Omar. At least you know for sure what the problem is and can fix it.

What looks readily apparent might not be so .

If you would like some diagnostic advice and a permanent repair after diagnoses before spending yet more time and money , put your phone number in my PM box .

Update: I called the machine shop that decked the head last year and told them what was going on. They said to bring it back in and they'll pressure test it again. Well, I picked it up on Friday... It's leaking somewhere around the valve guide.

They didn't remove the valves to get a good look, but they confirmed the leak!


I'm going to contact another local shop that specializes in head repair to see if they can do anything about it. But the way my luck has been...I may as well plan on getting another head!

That stinks man. I hope you can get it fixed easy. I'll ask around and see what the cheapest around hear is. I don't know what shipping would be though. I could bring it to bash but you want it done now while it's apart

Man,
That sucks, but at least you have a solid direction now...
