      Finally had some free time and dropped the head off today. He pulled vacuum on it while I was there. Intake and exhaust valves he said looked really good. So there's hope. Will be picking it up sometime next week

          Its interesting the changes they made in the oil and coolant passages between the M20 and M5X/S5X cylinder heads.

          The number of oil feed passages is reduced, the size of the coolant passages is reduced (this doesnt mean less cooling, just look at the pinhole they put in a stock head gasket to meter the coolant flow) and all of the passages locate near a head bolt to maintain sealing when the head lifts ever so slightly. The oil returns also have more real estate around them (inherently from the head being much wider) which allows the gasket to be designed for reduced chance of external oil leaks.

          What im trying to say is, get it back together soon so we can break s'more axles

                              I'm sure the shop did this but make you look over all of the valve retainers super good. From everything I have read s50's built prior to 10/95 have retainer problems. The only reason I know this is because when I blew my motor up there were a couple ready to give out and let the valve drop.

                                Assuming you replaced with 96+ retainers?

                                        did some VIN decoder stuff.

                                        I have pre 10/95 build date.

                                        new retainers have been ordered.

                                        figure do it once and do it right so I dont have to worry about it
