So the car is now running AMAZINGLY! I would not have expected a 1.6L to be so fun to drive. My custom exhaust sounds really good considering it is the first one I have ever designed and built. A little raspy under hard acceleration, but it sounds MEAN once T-VIS kicks in. Now my problem is a nasty oil leak. It never used to leak this bad before the head gasket replacement. I'm thinking that since I had to pull the distributor so many times to get the ignition timing right that the oil seal is shot and it's hemorrhaging oil from there. Any other places that oil might come from?
