Welp... I just got out of the garage, spent a good few minutes looking over the engine. I got an oil leak from the head gasket, and the valves are whats making the hissing sounds, but it is somewhat irregular, in any case, it looks like I should start thinking about a head gasket and head rebuild.

It will probably be pricey to do this, but I've gone as far as taking off the timing cover, additional steps would be taking detaching the intake mainfold and downpipe.

I think I can handle all that, but I still have to find a place where they will do a good job on the head and valves. Anyone know of a Place in Toronto or sourrounding area?

Any idea how much the head work would cost?

TIA
