    I think all you need is one new head gasket and then of course new intake gaskets. Throw in new valve cover gaskets, bolt it all back together and done. It won't be perfect but the more you dig the further hole you end up in.

    You are probobly right, but I think with the compression readings the way they were, I will pull both heads and get valve jobs done on them, and go from there. I got to find a reliable machine shop over here to do the work.
    I know there's alot over here just goinmg to see if anyone on the forums know a good one in seattle, Wa
