Heard from Gosh today, he said he could see that the head gasket did in fact blow, he could see it on the deck surface of the head apparently. He is going to pull it all apart, hot tank it, install new seals, guides, etc. and install some Supertech dual valve springs I'm going to pick up.
I never really got a really close look at my cylinder walls, but I asked my brother to check them out today, and he said they don't look the greatest

I will check them out myself hopefully on Friday when I am in town again. I don't want to pull the engine, but I will if it means doing it the right way that's what I will do. Hopefully I can just re-ring the pistons...
