Hey royster thanks for looking and the advice. There is not any machine shops I trust locally but I may try the Napa store in Columbia S.C. they have a machine shop there. I may be taking a trip there in the morning about 45 miles so not to bad. So you are pretty sure the gasket was blown. I know something was wrong. Would the gasket being blown cause it to be weak also? Like I said I have 3 of these trucks and this one is considerably weaker that is why I was wondering if I need to do the whole engine but if I could get by with the gaskets and head shaved that seems pretty easy. I will have to wait and see what the machine shop says I reckon to decide whether to do the whole engine or not. I am kind of excited to get started. I just had knee surgery a week ago and my wife was not real happy with me doing all this. I think I have another couple of weeks before they let me back to work so I have a little free time now. Thanks again
