Zoom,
I have the head off the car.  I did get a recomendation of a place in Livermore to have the head checked out, pressure checked and straightness.  I am wondering if it may just be the head gasket?  Visual inspection of the head looks ok.  I'll bring it in to be sure.  I am also going to re-ring the pistons due to lots of 
oil burning and blow by.
