I am leaking a small amount of oil out of the number1 exhaust port and believe it is due to a partialy blown head gasket ? What do you guys think? If so i need to do something to remedy this from happening again what do you recommend and where to take it to have it done? Any ideas on price would be nice.

 

Piers does o-ringing. I think Scheid does also.

 

Depending where you are in Ohio - try Haisley, in Indiana: http://www.haisleymachine.com/ Nice People, Quality work!

Enterprise Engine in Thornville, OH does oringing.

However, if it's not leaking too bad, I'd get in line for a oringed head from DonM - www.f1diesel.com. There's no better service than what Don provides. I'm running his oringed head and when combined with a good set of studs, this thing seems indestructable as a daily driver pushing 70lbs of boost.

Forest City Diesel does o-ringing too.
His ad appears at the top of the page.

 

JR Adkins can also take care of o-ringing a head for you. He's in Mooresville, IN (just south west of Indy)
