Yes it's fixed. The first head gasket change was half assed. Reused head bolts, cheap Auto 7 head gasket (I was broke at the time) And it turned out a bunch of the lifters were seized up. So some of the valves couldn't close all the way. The car would barely start afterwords.
2nd time around I used a Felpro head gasket and bolts (Oem is first choice but I didn't have time for them to order one) I cleaned the rebuilt the lifters. I also bought a torque degree gauge to find 60* instead of eyeballing it. The car has been running great for several months now. -------------------- 2000 Elantra

I bought some brand new Tibby pedal covers on Ebay for $13.15 with free shipping.
They don't look as good in a beige interior... Oh well. The gas pedal is a different shape on my J2 so It doesn't hold on to the pedal quite as strongly. The XD/GK accelerator pedal bolts right on, so next time I'm at the junk yard I'll get one. -------------------- 2000 Elantra

Thanks! It could have been a bit lower but it was a good ol car. Yours is sooo much cleaner overall. A lot of attention to detail.
