I've had an exhaust leak for a over a month now and figured I'd buy headers and a downpipe and just kill two birds with one stone. Well, it turns out the exhaust is fine, the head gasket is blown out. Thankfully, there is no oil and coolant milkshake, but I'm pissed that I gotta rip the whole damn thing apart now. I bought this car to buy me time to fix my other car, which I wasn't planning on starting until spring, since I don't have a heated garage. Now I'm gonna have to freeze my butt off fixing it anyway (trans swap on that car). So a trans swap is gonna be the quicker of the two jobs, so I'll plan on doing that this weekend, and the GTP will sit. Once warm weather comes, the motor is getting pulled, heads are getting redone and ARP head bolts are gonna clamp it back together with VR headgaskets and copper spray like I did my Grand National and that thing never popped a head gasket again. Then the headers and downpipe are also going on along with the new pulley!
