Well i had a good friend and rather knowledgeable car guy look at it and drive it and he said it just seems like a leak. I might even be saying it wrong it might be some other gasket leak. My good fren said it was like a 90 dollar thing 2 fix so i dont think im telling u guys the correct problem im having... Let me find out exactly what it is lol .. sorry

Ok so i also want to change the springs to raise the car by an inch b.c the thing scrapes. I am going 2 "roll" the fenders (at least try it or see if its done.) If this doesnt work should i totally replace them or get adjustable ones? I kind of hear bad things about the adjustable ones b.c they cushion after a while and bounce??

you do know that the b20 block doesnt just bolt up to the b16 head, post pics of the head code stamp thats right where the exhast manifold bolts up. or let me know what the head code is and what year it says.

Maybe you should edit the thread title to say "in the Tampa FL area".
