Well here we are 1000 miles later and doing completly fine.
The used headgasket sealed, lol.
Whenever I have time I'll take the motor out of my dads car and figure out what to do.
Before the head swap my dads car burned oil. Now it doesn't, it must have been the valve seals.
I've been monitoring the oil and coolant and nothing is being lost. The compression is balanced and fairly high so whats the point of tearing apart the block.
I was going to tear apart the block and do rings and bearings but I think all I'll do now is main seals and an oil pan gasket. Get some degreaser and a tooth brush and make it look like new.
Then I think I'll get a Z6 headgasket, clean up the head aswell, and then a stage 2 cam.
Get a header and exhaust, get it tuned and call it a day.
All of this will be spread out over the next year because of my part-time job.

I was going to replace it anyway. The previous guy welded a N1 style muffler on and his job looks like it restricts a lot of flow.That sux but hey... out with the old in with the new!
So no huge loss.
