Excellent description. I have yet to even look at the head gasket but this seems pretty straight forward. Basically there is an oil passageway near the left front head bolt that has to share a hole in the gasket. Looks like I have my day planned out for tomorrow. Thank you so much for your help and the speedy response. I was told that you can't put the head gasket on wrong on the H20 so I have been trying to troubleshoot everything else and won't even get into that... I pretty much feel like a tool now. LOL..
