Also check for compression (bubbles/movement) in the coolant tank for the first 2 minutes or so of running when cold.

could indicate a BHG.
But if you need anything, I have compression/leakdown testers and such to pinpoint any possible problems.

Same with me.
I'm 18 and getting a new apartment and getting my girl out of her shitty home.

So yeah.
Money doesn't come easy.
