I agree, but I wasn't going by the speedo in the car when I noticed...
Did Mr. Policeman catch you? I could see radar/laser as being the MOST accurate, but the thought of arguing based on an application is funny. "Officer, my droid said I was going the speed limit!" See how that holds up in court haha.

Maybe someone could try the app who has actual track times? I would be curious to see how reliable this data is.

Swap the gasket. Do it right the first time. It's not that big of a job, and you get peace of mind. Actually, swap them both. I figure if I had an engine torn down that much, may as well pull the other head and install two new gaskets.
If the sealer doesn't work, I will. It could probably use upgraded heads and if I pull them, I will replace them with better. I don't have the money for new heads at this point, so the sealer is likely a temporary fix until I have more cash to spare.

Try a can of K&W Engine Block Seal additive you can buy at your local auto supply. Drain out the coolant, add the can of additive to your radiator and drive the car for about 500 miles, then drain out the water/additive and install the proper mix of coolant and water to the radiator. I have had great success with this method. WARNING – there will be NO freeze or overheating protecting during this time, since there is no coolant in the radiator.

Anyway... I will flush it, refill it, and see what happens.

Agreed. Use one of the radiator flush products with water to flush any more out, and then try new coolant. When you drain the anti-freeze thats in there, let it sit in a container for a little while or a clear jar. After an hour or so look at it. If its rust/debris, it should more than likely sink. Oil, etc will float. Just my thoughts.

I did a compression check and all cylinders are 140-150 across the board. The plugs looked normal. The exhaust isn't spewing white smoke and the oil looks okay. What else can I check to narrow down the problem?
Compression test results:
1-140
2-145
3-150
4-150
5-150
6-150
7-150
8-150
