i got everything bolted back together from a head gasket change..fill the fluids..start the car. runs and sounds like absolute ****. leaking coolant from somewhere on the back of the engine ..but not the heater hose, hooked up a vac guage its oscillating from 2-5hg. feels like its only running on 3 cylinders. idles at 800 and revs up pretty quick when you give it gas. no codes..no backfiring..no smoke

ill run a compression check but it kinda seems like i f-ed up my head gasket repair somehow. everything went together smoothly im a lil disappointed and a little bit frustrated

actually it looks like its only leaking from that o-ringed water line under the thermostat. so thats an easy fix.
