Should know I'm out with friends, got a good buzz going.
 
Should know I got called into work today at 10am on my day off. I wish I could wear sunglasses, I feel like hell..
 
Is making money so it's all good.
 
Knows I haven't even started with my car and it's already spring. :(
 
Should know I have only got the battery charged for my car.I have not even took a wrench to the car to swap turbo's yet..I got my new tags already, I have not put them on yet either..
 
Knows a garage would be epic.
 
Should tell me if he means with the engine all in the car and what not, or checking if they're sealing when you have the head off?
 
With the head off, machine shops can do a pressure test to check. They have the equipment. Installed on the car, you'd have to warm up the engine and do a leak down test.
 
Should know we havn't started the car since the new hg went on..We need coolant and oil too..

So If it's warmed up I can just do a leakdown test? Also corey says compression test.
 
Should know a compression test will tell you how well the whole cylinder is sealing, but a leak down test lets you narrrow it down to valves or rings.
 
Should know if you did a headgasket recently you really should've had it checked then. Did you check the head for warpage?
 
Should know I did not..I had a 4 layer mls gasket on it, but It leaked in one corner, then we lost an arp stud, and went with a stock stud...Now it has a single layer hg on it..But no we did not check for warpage or straightness.:(..Yeah I know...I told my buddy we should.But just put it on anyway..
 
Is taking a bit of a gamble. Long ago on my Talon, I didn't know about things like checking the head for warpage, put a new composite and head bolts and it didn't last very long at all and then the gasket went. Had to be resurfaced.
 
Should know the video doesn't play on my iPhone so I can't watch it right now.
