Head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well it finally happened, i have low oil, low coolant, and coolant in my oil, plus coolant spraying out of my blowby. So basically im goin to be doin a lot of work and trying to save up even more $$$$$$. I know im doin a marine gasket but how much does o ringing the head cost. Also what other things may need to be done, and what are some other CHEAP things to help prevent this.

O-rings normally run $300, also plan on shaving the head to ensure its flat. I recommend going ahead and getting a valve job done as well, its a lot of work to R&R the head so you might as well get everything into the best condition possible.
As for aother additions I would go with headstuds, you get a much greater and more uniform clamping from using the studs. Studs along with o-rings if done correct will hold well over 800 HP.
