Sounds like a plan. I'll look over the LIM tonight for indications that it is leaking coolant, and whether it has been done or not; compression test; and pull the water pump to see if the fins are worn bad. $850 happens to be what I paid for the car lol! Not going in that much for headers. I will look for a used front PLOG, or cheap headers though.
