Crap...need some help on what is causing this?

that's not too bad then, could have been the white smoke and motor locked up thread. you gonna replace both sides?

Mark I am not going to replace both sides but i will check the other side and retorque. The headers are such a pain to get off the heads...need a midget contortionist to reach the back bolts.

well john, how did you end up?

All finished replacing the blown head gasket. Cylinder bores looked good, could still see evidence of cross-hatches. Runs fine, but I have not had a chance to drive it more than a test run so far. Hope to get some time this Sat. since the weather forecast is 70s.
