alright well that looks like the problem then. I know my step dad is an ASSHOLE!!! thanks for all of your help, I'll keep you updated.

alright, Im going to tear it down this weekend so is there anything else I need to know? besides the head gasket, could the head bolts be the problem? we used the old head bolts and I have heard that they can stretch. could it be a bad bottom end bearing? I just want to know what I am dealing with.

i would not suspect teh bottom end for anything unless you are getting really low oil pressure and even then it's an entirely different job so i wouldn't worry about it, as far as head bolts i have read that they do cause problems (search the tech forum for a thread called "One time use head bolts?" or something like that) but i myself have had no problems with this and i have re&re'd my head twice now with the same bolts.

Edit: i found the link to that thread

Damn your good! Thanks for finding that for me. I guess I am going to take the head off and hopefully fix the problem, so I'll keep you posted.

if it was a 1-wire universal boche )2 sensor, which it shold be for $40, you need to solder the wire, otherwise the impedance won't be right. It may or may not generate a code, but it will cause idle problems.
