Ok, my talon is bone stock never seen more the 10 psi ( or whatever stock is ) and Im getting ready to change the head gasket. Im going to just order a .020 over rebuild kit from MACHV.com but have a ?. I have oil in my coolant, and one of the cylinders psi is lower than the others. 1-162 2-163 3-163 4-149 so i figured it is the headgasket. I dont really want to rebuild the motor since I know its never been beat on and I really wanna race on slopony or dsmday.
Should I just replace the headgasket, water pump , and timing belt for now and rebuild it completly in the winter months? pulling the motor twice doesnt bother me. Or should I just go ahead and do it all now? Again the motor is bone stock and indicates all signs of just a blown headgasket. If I do it all now I wont have it done by either event and that wouldnt be very cool. I am probably just going to leave it for now and do it in the winter but just wanted everyones .02 cents. thanks Travis -------------------- "One of the most Crazy and Undecisive Members in central Illinois"

Both are good HG's but given a choice I'd go with the cometic. Get some ARP head studs too.
