Is it running fine? sorry about that, the car seems to be doing fine for now,i went to the track on tuesday, i couldnt get better than 15.7 with a crappy 2.4 60' time. although im still not sure if the head gasket is ok or not. i cant tell the temp yet cuz i didnt fix that sensor so i dont know if its overheating or not. hey mike can you tell me the signs of a blown head gasket?

Have you checked your Coolant levels since you put it in? Check your Oil for Coolant too... Check the exaust for snow white smoke, though if you saw this the gasket it severly [censored]. If the level is the same, than I would say that it's OK. Gotta fix that sensor man. Do you know where it is? It is not that expensive...
