thanks for the links! hadn't checked ebay, I was hoping to find something local so I could get this fixed up in the next couple days, but idk if its going to happen. Found a guy 2 hours away with a complete engine with a blown headgasket for $300, and I have everything needed to replace the HG as thats all I thought was wrong with mine, until I took it apart.... So i guess now I just need to decide wether or not I can/want to get this done before I go back to school on saturday...
