did you put the pistons without putting the cosmetic head gasket!
Also how much was the labor for the pistons.

yeah i did...dumbest thing i've ever done lol. cosmetic gasket and head studs should be here tomorrow though. As for the installation.....my dealership did it for me under warranty but the bill came out to be a little over 3000 bucks.

Well, I hate to say it, but here is the 7 P's of success again: Proper Prior Planning Prevents **** Poor Performance

Sorry to hear it blew man. Hopefully those nice pistons are still good. The Cometic gasket is far superior in comparison to the the stocker by the way, and Golden Eagle makes some superior headstuds. Trust me as I rock them now since GMPP Stage 2 blew my headgasket somehow!
