Hey guys, guess who's back from the land of the little yellow people!! I got some good pics and vids to share as soon as I'm done unpacking and paying bills.
Just so no one's in the dark anymore...
Turns out I have a blown head gasket, at least that's what Rick's thinking! He was gonna install my new two-piece DS the other day and in the process he pulled some plugs and checked the oil and it came out like a Venti White Chocolate Mocha!! Rick is gonna pull the heads and see where she blew by. If it is something else...
When I get my life back together in a few days I'll let you guys no more.

Hey Grip, next thread I'm reading is yours, excited to see some progress pics!!

Spoke to Rick today and his assumptions were right and I blew the driver's side head gasket. I think it happened on the way down to SD in Early August when my boost controller spiked and I hit 17 lbs. When he pulled the heads he said that the bank looked like it had about 200,000 miles on it from all the burnt oil.
Won't be done by the show but I'll be up there anyways for moral support!
I don't have any pictures but maybe rick does but I didn't ask him.
