Anybody know any reputable shops or people for this job, and also pricing on this task? I am planning on replacing headgasket with a stock replacement and adding ARP head studs.
Should I get a complete gasket kit for the head that includes valve stem seals, valve cover gaskets etc. Or just replace the head. Im not sure which is cylinder 1 on the car, I assume the closest to the cam gears, but i may be wrong, that is where it is leaking coolant and probably why my compression is down a little. I think my last compression test was atleast 150 on all cylinders with a variance of 5-8psi.
Who in Central Florida can change my headgasket?

You sure its not the water pump itself that isn't leaking? Its right under the intake cam gear.OmarM wrote:Anybody know any reputable shops or people for this job, and also pricing on this task? I am planning on replacing headgasket with a stock replacement and adding ARP head studs.

yea that compression/variance seems too good to have a busted hg. get shop to leakdown test cylinder 1 to check, if doesn't leak out hg its good then get them to pressure test coolant system and check for the leak. cake!
