    Were they trying to reshape the ports with the epoxy for better flow?

    That was to weld a crack. Yeah, that didn't work.

    I had no idea at the time this is how they "fixed" it before.

    Sounds like a plan...and if you need a ride up to pick up your car, let me know. It may be time for brakes...

    I was thinking it may be helpful to explain why this head gasket is different than OEM.

    Hence...

    T'would be helpful if you'd please explain it to us like we are 5

    Thanks Jeff. I knew about the stomping, but not the accident.

    I didn't know about Gnat getting hit. Sorry to hear that.

    I liked your old graphics, but those stripes look really good. :Thumbsup:
