keep an eye on the coolant level if it seems like its dropping or you have low oil pressure or seems to over heat or run hot, or watery oil, id really have a mechanic look deeper into possible cracked head. Not that its gonna happen, just keep an eye on those things, and im not saying be worried
just the more i read the more worried i get

No warranty, Dad doesn't believe in them haha. Will do, but what exactly is a sniffer test?

pretty much its a chemical that detects gasses from the coolant, checks for blown head gasket or cracked head.

Fix the sig link, you have an extra [URL= or something in there. I found it manually, but the link goes nowhere.
