so the holes that the studs go through on my valve cover are almost oval. i think that is why it leaks oil, even with a new gasket :/

Sounds a little strange to me. First off, not sure how this would happen to the valve cover. Second, this should not alter its ability to seal.

travis is gay.

True.

In other news I need a new Head Gasket :( looking at about 200+ bucks from BMA including the timing belt kit and head bolts. Does anyone have a HG kit, HG bolts, Timing belt kit for sale for a bit cheaper?

Why does it need a head gasket, what happened?

I'm with you man, I love having my S10. I don't want to drive an E30 every day.

[ethrtyiS]

exactly, if i had the money, i would keep the e30, but i need it to get what i want. but i do plan on eventually, hopefully, buying back my car.

[MR 325]

Why does it need a head gasket, what happened?

Noticed poor gas mileage, checked my spark plugs saw there were full of crap, looked in to coolant tank and saw brown, noticed excess oil consumption with my last oil change I did on sunday and tonight I had a "limp modish" start up leaving a eatery till the engine got warm when it decided to act like normal...Short of doing a compression test I am pretty sure the HG is going out but not blown yet.

The head and gasket only have 10k at most. Almost guaranteed not to be the problem.

Issue is more likely the rings wearing out. What oil do you run?

Change your plugs and do a coolant flush.
