When I did my HG I didn't have time to finish it so I payed a "mechanic" to do it. This guy works at Midas so hes a genius apparently. I have noticed my car slowly loosing coolant but oil is milky so I let it go. But today the temp gauge started going up, cold heat, and no coolant. Turn it off and popped the hood. Gasket crapped on me and leaked all over the transmission. It seems to be mostly external. Now the best part is, this guy rtv THE WHOLE GASKET. All around the limg is all rtv'ed I think that's why caused it to go bad again. So I guess now is the time for the ported upper so I can use my Lx9 TB. I can post a picture of the intake later today.
