Hey guys, thanks for your input.

2Badd4u: I had the heads at a machine shop to be milled, pressure tested and magnufluxed and they were fine. I left the block in the engine bay so I had to check for warpage myself on that. I used a straight edge and a flashlight to determine if there was any warpage and it all looked good.

I went to copper because this is the third set of headgaskets going on the car. They keep blowing and in the same spot.

Nate R.: The Legend engine can defiently be rebuilt. I am not the first to do it. In fact, 2Badd4u's friend completely rebuilt his, I didn't touch my block. I had success with my first rebuild but my headgasket blew prematurely at 60,000 miles. I believe this is due to the fact that I re-used the old headbolts, a mistake on my part.

Anyway, this Sat/Sun I will start pulling her back apart again. I'll post my results here.
