Yeah sorry. Nothing yet. got really busy and haven't been able to do anything else besides find out that the 95% leak down is going out the exhaust. called the machine shop and they swear that the car had to have been running too lean and that it's my fault. I'm going into the shop this sunday to pull the exhaust off to see if I can see anything with a borescope and to pull the cam cover off. I tried to get my boss to just cut our losses and buy a used motor but he's not ready to do that just yet. What I do know is that it's going to be a while before I do another head gasket. Most of our customers just opt for a used motor but not this customer. The bill is quoted at almost 10k with a head job and some other maintenance stuff and the customer chose to do it. I am planning on updating this thread when I get some new pictures of the updated status of this vehicle and hopefully a fix
