I finally had to replace my headgasket this week, after a bunch of stop-gap measures to make the FelPro live. Its final failure point was in cylinder number two, it ovaled the fire ring all the way over to the coolant passages by the intake:
  Not too bad for a year of abuse, I guess. I'm hoping the OEM Mitsu gasket won't give me any trouble. -------------------- Eric Wort

Interesting choice on the intake manifold. I'd never heard of it before but I did find some pictures of it on their website. I'd be curious to see what the inside looks like (since they never give you a shot of the throttle opening bore) and see if it really looks just like a big box on the inside as well. Interesting though.....
