One of my heads just blew a water leak on the number 3 cylinder (not a gasket, but literally the inside of the head). A new head is being shipped out, and the car should be back in motion by at least Friday (05/04/07).

Timing is everything...I had taken it to have it dyno'd, and on the inspection ride with the tech, the head blew...when we got back to his shop, you could smell the water in the exhaust, see white smoke puffing out, and see water dripping out of the passenger side pipe. Luckily there was another shop, literally 1 minute away, that took the car, pulled the head and diagnosed the issue.
