Upper intake failure gone worse :o(
I had posted before the system crash here that i was having some troubles with my car...
You all diagnosed it correctly....
It did turn out to be the dreaded intake failure with my car in a Hydrolocked state!
Intake all replaced.... and now the rear head gasket is blown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man oh man!
Still fixing her tho!
I am going to have the front head done while its all apart....
This car has been shopbound more then driven....god...I can't wait to get it back !!!!!

Yep Engine still salvagable!
There is only 98k on the OD still....and it ran pissa up to the intake failure...
I feel the head went due to the slight overheating issues i had with the coolant disappearing...
I know....car will be as good as new huh!

So I guess this means that you'll have to have your head shaved?
...your 3800'* head, not yours
edit: with the heads shaved, your compression ratio will be bumped up by a little bit. Might mean more power, albeit, you'll potentially have to do it on premium gas.
