Yea thats true but just me I have not had any headgasets go bad with just the oil part,, Or haven't seen any,, I hope it would be just the headgaset an not the oil rings,,

Luckily( so far) it has been running fine again- my hope is that its NOT a head gasket but that its something else entirely and easy to fix- will keep you all posted from what i researched it seems like a HUGE pain in the A$$ to change head gasket, but will keep my fingers crossed- thanks again for all the input guys
