Yup: it's the girls, alright.

In other news: this is an important note to remind me (and others) about servicing the head (on your truck ):

If you want to purchase the ARP bolts, go right ahead, but be prepared to buy again the next time you change a head gasket.
Mitsubishi had a problem with head gaskets and crack heads years back when apparently they did not tighten the head bolts correctly on their trucks right out of the factory. This caused warping and head cracking in many vehicles, especially the 2.6L. If you do not want to buy a one time use of the head bolts, it will be just fine. The most important part of head bolt tightening is to retighten after you have ran truck for 300-500 miles and it is warmed up when you do this second round. Follow this procedure and you will almost never blow a head gasket unless you severely overheat the engine and try to make it home on 220 degrees boiling steam. Also don't forget to have the head checked for warping. This should be automatically done at head removals. Also replace the head bolts into their same exact holes they came out of.
Thanks, Brad. Good to have friends around the garage kerosene heater...furry AND flesh.
