title pretty much says all -- my first head-gasket went last night (doing things i shouldn't have been doing ) , and i'm curious what my next steps should be. roommate and i didn't hear a knock when trying to crank it over, and there was a minimal amount of coolant in the oil (like maybe a 1/4 of a quart). gonna do the dye trick for diagnosing the head and block mating surfaces. assuming everything's ok ( which i doubt the heads gonna come out of this straight) what else should i check? bearings? oil pump? rings? assuming i do need machine work, anyone know a good machine shop in denver/boulder?
