Well the head came off and it was determined that the head gasket failed between cylinders 5 & 6, the gasket between the remaining cylinders were damaged as well during inspection.



New gaskets have been ordered, carbon cleaned off the piston heads and the head has been checked out.
I should get the car back on Monday so I can start the interior project.

Just spent 2 hours adjusting the front ride height as I thought it was a bit low and I kept having anxiety attacks when I see uneven pavement.
I was too stupid to write down the start measurements, raised the car up about 1/2", rolled the car back, didn't like the gap due to the stretched tire, put the car back up, lowered it 1/4", rolled the car back, didn't like the gap, put the car back up, lowered the driver side only back down some more, rolled the car back and liked how it looked, put the car back up and set the passenger side, rolled the car back and I'm happy.
Now the front and rear are visibly even!
So the total height adjustment? Maybe +3mm.
