If you have a head gasket leak or an intake gasket leak you should pull both heads, you need to pull the intake anyways. When you buy a new head gasket, it will come in a set, no reason to cut corners at this point, plus it will only take you an extra 15 min to pull the other head. Then you can check both heads for warpage and the block, you may want to send the heads out to have them checked for cracks and also check the valve guides.
This could get deep, so good luck.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
