If your leaking coolant in exhaust, I will say headgasket. But, since the car isn't turning over, I don't know. I drove my car 1k miles with a cracked piston and the car still started and drove.
Only way I can see Cometic and ARP combo failing is if the studs/nuts weren't torqued right, weren't installed in right sequence resulting in warped head, or if the headgasket was actually installed upside down.
Removing the head will show exactly what happened I'm sure.

i actually am looking at the bright side..my wife allowed for a replacement engine...so i can pull this one and take my time and tear it down and rebuild it the right way (since the person that did it didnt become to be as good as he said) and then when its done do maybe twin charged or a nasty gt42r turbo or something...or if the tvs is still around by then

I am sorry to hear this Raven. I thought I was the only one this crap happened to and it isn't making me feel better knowing that I am not.
I really hope it isn't the sleeve/block or the head.
