Well my motor mounts are broken causing my rough idle.

The head gasket is leaking and also its causing compression loss on leak down test. Not to mention I have bad MPG and performance.

I'm just doing the top end in the hopes to resolve it all. It has been established that I need a new head gasket period. I just hope that when that is fixed, it will resolve my poor mpg and lack of performance at the same time. As I am taking off the head, I want to do it right and hense the reason why I am doing the timing chain and having the head sent off to a machine shop.

I have no plans to sell the car so doing it now while everything is apart will save me time and the money in the long haul as I have the money to do it right now. Who knows in the future ya know?
