cracked head? blown head gasket? here we go again.....

well i put the sniffer above the radiator opening today and read 200 HC. This confirms my prob with burning coolant, so i guess i have a leaking head gasket or maybe cracked head. A friend of mine had his B16 motor built at the same shop and he had HC in the radiator also and it turned out they Oringed his block wrong, we're guessing i have the same prob. Time to swap the motor out again. 3rd time. I hate my Max...or maybe i juss hate the shop that built my motor...problem after problem.
