Moment of terror:
I just realized I made a mistake. I thought I sucked-up all the oil/water in the head-stud bungs but there was some left, so when I tightened the headstuds it probably forced some fluid out, under the headgasket, contaminating the surface.
Should I pull the headgasket, clean, and start over?

I dripped a ---- ton of oil out of my head last time I did a head swap. I was handling it myself with a really shitty HG that wouldn't align very well, I had to remove the rear dowel; it wouldn't fit over. Seems to still be holding compression well -- YMMV.

[quote=hustler;825008]apparently I didn't go down deep enough.

That's what he said.
You don't know your area well enough. Test tracks are everywhere. I say floor it and then drag your brakes so you are boosting and not accellerating. Hold that at 60mph for a while until something catches on fire. Yay.
Seriously though that is valid for load testing
