So pretty sure I have a pin size hole in my headgasket. So while I'm in there since I have been on this kick about maintenance first.
I was going to have the motor completely gone through. Who woud you recommend and what cost should I be expecting? Mind you in just did a timing belt, water pump, tensioners, all new belts last year (like 1000 miles or less)
Also there is a 1/2 filled built 6 bolt block that's at John wigger's that's for sale with 500 miles on it. The guy who's selling it actually lIves next town over from me (5min) even though John is 3hrs away.
What are your thoughts on going that route instead.
Some of you on ecmlink.com will have seen the thread on this block or here is his craigslist.com ad

Keep in mind I've been DD my car almost year round. And it is meant for road race (once and a while) not drag so I doubt 1/2 filled will be the way end up going. Just seemed so cheap for a built motor (maybe a spare if I give up on the road race deal) but I don't know much about "FILLED" blocks.
