Message	Running a little rich, maybe a little extra oil burning. I don't see any obvious HG failure, but its pretty hard to pick out unless its complete destruction. More than likely it was on the head side of the gasket, as the aluminum expands/contracts more. If I had to pick a bad spot out of that cyl. 5, I would look closer at the material between the cylinder and the forward coolant passage ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 (Dead) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Est. 400 HP) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Est. 600 HP) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD)
