Sorry to hear that man. I'm glad they are going to take it back though.

It sucks to have to do all that work again though...

thanks guys, yeah it sucks big time, i didnt put the axles back in or anything yet so its not a whole lot of work to be done, plus none of my friends really want to help too much so i did it pretty much all by myself. I have an EX tranny on it so its got the good close gear ratios so ill let you guys know how it goes, and thanks for that link.

Use a z6 headgasket and make sure you follow the entire procedure for a mini-me. You'll be all good to go bro.
