wes18 ???
You're on to a good start, but I have a feeling you might need to do headgaskets too. If you have the money, now is the time. Get the heads decked and put some ARP head studs in too. Then it should be pretty solid.
thanks for the info guys!!

OEM gaskets, or you can use the Victor Reinz, which are the same as the black onyx gaskets sold across the web. Except black onyx are around $175, and the VR gaskets are around $100.
It's not so much the quality of the gasket in this case, since these three offerings (2 actually since the BO are the same as the VR) are good gaskets, it's just a matter of having the heads/block flat for a good mating surface. Really important with this less than desirable 4 bolts per cylinder design.
