hey everyone pretty upset because i spent 450 putting an all new head gasket set on.Milled the heads and followed my trusty haynes book to a T. But to my surprise when i started it back up still smoke after driving it for an hour and there is still a miss in the engine. I found a donor car with a 4.6l v8 motor in it for 600 which is my uncles. It needs a new rear end on it but im going to get it and put it into the v6 model i have. Because of how good my body is with no rust and i put almost all new parts on mine over the summer.

just curious, did you have the shop vacuum test the heads? glad you seem to be happy with your new fix.
