Its all good man, Got a couple of questions though, well first ill awnser yours.
No smoke, never ever ever. useally a car in the condition of mine after idileing for a while then touch the gas i puff of white smoke will emerge due to bad/hard vlave seal but mine was solid.. weird..
As far as oil pressure my guage never worked so during this build i bought 3 tinted bad ass guages Witch im doing somthing very cool with and i put it ina new thread. lol, and as far as wear on the block car ran a 13.8 So im guessing it cant be too bad, lol. i just re-did my intake plenium, bored it with the dremil and nice acid stetic bath. looks brand new.
So anywase about the headgasket. after you get the head back from the machine shop your sapossed to messure how much they took off and replace it with a thicker gasket..
Well if stock is 1.3mm.. why does greddy offer a 1.mm? or shit hks's 1.2 all day. saying in the desciption adds compression.. ovously but a heard a rumor of detination problems..? weird.. and wtf is a stopper gasket compared to a reguler.. lol thanks man oh and heres my NEW intake and valve covers. lol
