Turns out there is only ONE head gasket for my specific vehicle. However there is a DESIGN 1 and DESIGN 2 of that gasket. I was not aware of that, and my local parts guys didnt bother to mention it upon my ordering one. But regardless im all good to go now as far as the Head Job goes.. but noticed temp running a little warm at random times, even if on the highway. Thinking converters are gonna be the cause. had a code come up long while back for catalyst system below performance threshold. Guess we'll see!!!

Catalytic converter causing your car to overheat? Huh? I've heard of an overheat throwing cat codes but the other way around.... I don't understand how that's possible
