Damn, and I was planning on selling it...

I changed the oil and coolant 2 weeks ago, adjusted the valves, everything looked great and idle was smooth. I also fixed some vacuum leaks and replaced the torn BPV on my car. Well once everything was good, I took it out. It boosted to 15psi, maybe more as the boost gauge was pegged (previously only ran 10psi) and it looks like I blew the headgasket:rolleyes ..(I think the WG is stuck closed) I have some slight milkyness in the formerly fresh oil, and condensation in the vac lines, with no oil in the coolant. The car has barely been run since this happened. I first thought it was a vacuum leak or misadjusted valves as the vacuum gauge was bouncing and engine loping very very mildly, but the milkiness is a dead giveaway....


ANYWAY I would rather have a shop do the gasket and make sure the head, valves, and deck are good. Does anyone have any recommendations on a shop, preferrably not too expensive, around or south of Boston?

Thanks!
