So its the headgasket.. which I will now be going ahead with my z6 swap, also tried to remove the muffler but it will need to be cut off now..
Found out the previous owner had a remote starter and did a hack job on the wiring plus never gave me the remote when I purchased the car, so I pull it out and fixed all the wiring.
Update: I decided to slowly start removing parts for removing the head, I pulled off the FITV, IACV and throttle body.. man were they ever built up with carbon deposits!! Even the inside of the intake manifold was pitch black. Seems I will also be needing to replace every coolant and vacuum hose too since a lot of them aren't in the best condition. The more I dig into this car, the more this project is starting to become fun.. Minus it seems a lot my tools seem to have walked away with friends (all my 10mm tools mostly). Also removed the driver seat to get access to clean the floor under it and the passenger seat will be tomorrow.
Update: I pulled my full interior apart to clean every detail since the previous owner never did. Found everything you could think of.. $20 bill, change, food, animal hair, condom wrapper lol and lots more. Took me a while to pull everything from the interior out (minus the headliner) and clean. So other then a few small broken parts inside the car, this thing is in perfect condition inside.. outside is another story lol Since I will be home alone this weekend, I will hopefully have the time to rip apart the head in preparation for the minime swap soon.
The weather is finally starting to warm up, so now its getting easier to work longer out doors on the car.
On a side note, I have been thinking that a possible issue I have seen before with recently changed headgasket issues have been them not being torqued down properly or even at all. I never even bothered to check when I had the valve cover off today, so I will check tomorrow.
