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.

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.

You guys are going to make me cry. Both of your cars are better than mine was.

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.
