    Hey Mr. Giggles!

    Remember that socket that I had stuck in my spark plug tube? Well today, after 2 whole months, I finally got the thing out! :)

    Anyway, just wanted to thank you for all posts you make on these forums. You're definitely one of the best posters on TN!

    Hello!

    Not sure if remember me, but a while back you had recommended that I do a block test to see if I had a blown head gasket. Basically at the time, I had a lot of bubbling in my coolant reservoir, and the engine would always overheat.

    I'm at the point now where, while I thought I had passed the block test, I figured I might as well preemptively change the head gasket, since I had so many symptoms of blown gasket.

    I am really a bit of a noob at this, so my apologies if the following is a really easy question, but if I am going to be doing all these things, what should I try to tackle first? Should I change my timing belt before I take off my cylinder head?

    Also there's a minor caveat: I have a socket stuck in one of the cylinders because I took off my spark plugs wrong. I still haven't been able to get the freaking thing out. Will that give me problems in any of the things I'm trying to fix?

    Thanks in advance for everything!
