well, rebuilt the motor in school, waited almost a year to find time to finish up the last little bits and get my car started... ate the cam cause i didnt know you were supposed to put locktite on the cam bolt. replaced the cam and got it running yet again for another 5 minutes, this time running much better, and all my freeze plugs fell out due to an unexpected week long snow storm.. finally replaced them and got it running one moree time... coolant in the oil, wont run very long.... what??? i remember being very cautious and careful assembling my engine with supervision because it was my first rebuild and i specifically DIDNT want this type of thing happening.. im very discouraged at this point and want to give up for the first time in 5 years of agonizing body work, thrift, and elbow grease. im getting married in august and i just dont see how i can keep this up if its gonna keep being this way... i really dont understand what couldve cause this to happen. judging by sound and the not as hot header pipe, it appears to be either 4 or 6 i dont remember which as im inside now and not about to go back out in the rain.. sorry for dumping on everyone im just rather depressed about this and nobody around me even knows what a headgasket is haha
