Message I'm not quite sure what else could go wrong with my Z...

I was very excited about getting my Z back this week sometime. The motor was in and running well. There were some issues with my clutch but they were all fixed up. My Z was finally done...

So I called this morning to talk to the shop and see when I could come by to pick it up and I got this news...

My Z blew a fu(king head gasket...

Now the motor has to come back out to change it. I'm not sure why it blew. I'm thinking that there may have been too many imperfections in the heads to keep my new copper gaskets happy. The shop is going to tear it apart and put stock gaskets on it. This will give me a 9:1 compression ratio but that should be fine for stock turbos. (I'll get thinker ones when the 3037s go in ;) ). Maybe I'll end up setting some stock turbo power records.

So, I'm pissed and my Z will be in the shop another few weeks. I'm starting to hate Zs more and more as the days go on. This isn't how Jack B got his start, is it? j/k
