Well I had been having head lifting issues. I replaced the headgasket (it blew) and installed ARP headstuds. I put all this **** back together and it runs like ****. One think I did notice now is that the timing is different than before I put the **** on. Now when the dizzy is in the middle the timing is perfect with the marks. As before it was fully advanced and only at the tail end of the three marks. I timed the motor and its dead on. It runs like ****. It seems to be running really hot too. It only took it maybe 1-2 minute to get hot. Anyone have any ideas? Its pissing me off. On top of that I fuked up my line for my boost guage so now i have no boost guage until I buy another compression fitting.

I also forgot to add, the car idles what seems to be fine. When idling the radiator fan comes on alot now. Before I dont think I ever saw it come on. Today when working on the car it came on very frequent (this might be bacuse of the blown headgasket though).

By running like **** I mean like no power. Not like it use to at least. The BOV seems much louder now also. Unfortuntly since the boost guage is fucked I cant tell what is going on in the dept. Anyways It almost feels like the car is pulling timing but I dont think it is.
