Once you take the head off, and let the JDM fairy dust out, it'll never run good again. Fact of life.

Seriously, don't replace a head gasket until its broke.

And just so you know, if you do your wiring, fuel lines, vac lines, and install clean enough, it should only take 30-45 mintues to pull the engine and trans out...
I'm happy too see post's like these, as they are the rules I build by.
Also we could use a head gasket database, with images to compare old, failed or just used head gaskets. MHO
