I just had a free coolant flush on it. Now the needle on the TEMP gauge doesnt run around anymore. I should be good for another month, but I'll tell you guys when I'm ready to take it in. Just bent one of my lower control arms, so that's a set-back. (New pavement+water= Bent Control Arm!)

Okay, I'm going to need a list of parts that should/are gonna be done along with the headgasket. Just so I can start thinking of how much parts and labor would cost me. So far I have down a OEM Headgasket, OEM Timing belt, accessory belts, ARP headstuds. And how much would you guys charge extra for removing the balance shafts, if you guys do do it? And how much for replacing the valve cover? I know it's not that hard, but if this gets too expensive I'll replace it myself. I've been holding that off for a while also. What else am I missing?
