Aight, well it all came out really nice in the end. The whole head job cost me $10. I took the valves out nothing was damamged it was a real small metal piece that got cought on the valves. I took it out to the machine shop, they grinded it for me for $10 and put the valves back in for free <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

So yeah, now i'm in the process of putting it all back together. From what i figured out i have to replace the head gasket, exhaust gaskets and both intake gaskets and a coupla hoses. So yeah $10 to fix the head and $200 in parts to put the engine back together <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

So anyways, do you think buying from carparts.com or courtesy-nissan.com would make any difference? Also are the headbolts torqued to yeild? e.g. can i reuse em oh have to get new ones? Thanx
