Unfortunately, only bits and pieces of your post are comprehensible.

If you clean up your post into standard full sentences, then arrange the sentences into paragraphs, you might be able to get your points and issues across in a way that makes sense to more than just you. And then you might see some informative helpful replies.

Wow, two sentences, and three lines of text. We have a strong contender for "worst thread of the month" right here, ladies and gentlemen.

Rule #1: Diagnose first. Always. Period. End of discussion. You started throwing parts at your car with absolutely no idea what was actually wrong with it.

It doesn't matter what you do for a living, rule #1 is always "diagnose first". When someone says they don't like the taste of their steak, do you just toss it back on the grill for another 10 minutes, or do you try to figure out WHY they don't like the taste of it? More time on the grill won't fix a poorly seasoned steak.

Being a chef is no excuse for your **** poor abortion of an excuse for typing.

These kinds of tech threads are very complicated because you are the middle man who doesn't know much about your car and your trying to transmit information from your mechanic. Much gets lost in the translation.

The block test possibly may answer the question about whether the head gasket is blown. You are paying a mechanic to figure it out for you. If you have no confidence in him, then you chose the wrong shop and you should get your car out of there ASAP.

no I do my own work but when I'm lost! I'm lost lol. I was at work when i wrote the original thread. but yes he does the test for me for free and tells me and i fix it! I'm still learning this is my first eg! had 2 ef's before but never had this problem and i have a d15b jdm head on my d16z6 (was like that when i bought it) i can still use all z6 parts except the valve cover seal and spark plug tube gaskets they don't fit i know for sure but everything else is the same?
