If your head gasket went out then your head will probably be warped (even if just slightly). They will have to be decked. Check your cylinder condition as well, might need to be bored over also (If your car sits for periods, the coolant will have pitted your cylinder walls) Engine pull isn't terrible, I recommend dropping the front subframe to help with room (I disconnected tension rods, shocks, and it lowered about 4", plenty for me to clear the oil pan/PS rack) ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 (Dead) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Building) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD)
