Yep Head Gasket.. I got OEM replacements. I examined and compaired.. Felpro came apart in 2 places actually one by a water jacket.. I like OEM because there is actually metal that wraps around from the Fire Ring.. So keeping coolant down/ temp @ or below half.. I'm at 165 miles on a half tank of fuel as well compression increased it's now at 180 on all Cyl. 269,129 mi. And now driver side seat belt is ... Well yA know... Aaaaaahhrrrggu! Serenity Now! Serenity Now! LOL!! Thanks for the support.. I will upload pics Sunday..

Thanks for the Support, I feel pretty Confident that I can do this job.. New Head Bolts or no P/N? I had the head Gaskets done about 3 yrs. ago when I was in a Jam looking for work, I didn't have time to be roadside mechanic.. I don't know about further in the past history... What kind of Head Gasket Replacement P/N? I already have the Intake Manifold because of a misunderstanding between me- website- and the other person at the store.. LOL! So there WAS a reason why I ended up ordering 2 Pair of Intake Gaskets! I got the Gist of checking for warpage on Cyl and Block .0020 I wouldn't know if the last guy even checked..and clean, clean, clean Other than that.. Thanks' Thanks' Thanks' I keep an eye on the Coolant level and Release the Hounds (Pressure)

Compression Test/Spark Plug Inspection with New Plugs 30 miles of driving? Pa Cyl 1. (155) Clean Pa Cyl 3. (160) -looks wet and oily Dr Cyl 2. (170) Clean Dr Cyl 4. (170) Clean -Plugs do not show any signs of Green yet- - No smoke from Tail Pipe yet- So as we are Familiar with the lay out of orientation of Cylinders it seems odd to me that the Passenger side vs. Driver side are that far apart in PSI..? Meanwhile after getting my car back from somebody that ran straight water to compensate and overheating issue so they thought... over this last summer pretty much clogged all of everything so I am checking this and doing that flushing everything replacing the Radiator, putting on new Intake Manifold gaskets which passenger side did blow out....Burping system 3ft off ground, flat ground, giggling it around I am speculative that I am losing a Head Gasket because I keep getting air in the cooling system... NO Water to Oil yet..I did a Block Test after trying to Alleviate the Excessive Puking of the Radiator neck and finally got that under control yet the Block Test Fluid only turns Green and not a Bright Yellow and no I am not sucking coolant into the Test chamber!! LOL!! We already did that 6 times BEFORE getting a new/used Radiator.. I see a steady stream of bubbles in the Overflow Tank and with my wrecked sense of smell I cannot Be 100% sure those are Exhaust but it does smell like Rubbing Alcohol/Carburetor Cleaner/ Acetone... but it does seem odd that they are there now after replacing the Cheesy Walmart Red Tab Pressure release Rad Cap they put on there.. Got circulation.. -Heat- all hoses are -Hot- and -Tight-.. No External leaks Noticeable.. Sux I'm Losing.. Praying that Nothing got Cracked, and that those Bubbles would just gOoOoAwAaAaAyYyYyYy!
