I used an SCE from summit it was expensive at $200 but taking a kenne bell off sucks and I really am trying not to have to do it again. I noticed on your car domain you have aluminum heads. I got mine checked at a machine shop and they made them level again. Aluminum has a greater tendency to warp which can also lead to leaking head gaskets so make sure your heads are flat or you'll be dealing with the same problem. I orginally had a felpro head gasket with ARP head bolts and had the same problem you have. Good luck

When i was trying to figure out what was wrong with my car I also heard that they make strips to test the PH of the coolent and I guess they'll show if there is exhaust gas in the coolent which will cause a PH change, I didn't use them but you might want to look into it some more.
