i changed the head gasket. the first thing i did wrong is I forgot to drain the coolant, so when i tore down the head there was alot of coolant to clean up.. after putting the new head gasket., i was assembling everything and when i got to the Manifold I put the new gasket positioned the exhaust on the dowels and then the intake... i got all the screw on with the washers there are nine of them and 2 bolts that go onto threads that come out of the block itself: you can see it next to the dowels on this forum:

anyway i had a buddy put those last 2 bolts on and guess what!
yup he broke the thread off that comes out of the engine its the one in the front of the engine you can see what im talking about in the pic.
anyway i was almost done when he told me so i assembled everything and put alot of gasket sealant around the hole where the threads broke and i made sure to stuff the hole with some sealant also, at first when i started it i had high idle so i made sure all hoses were right and tighted where neccessary and i made sure to have sealant all around where the thread broke at the exhause manifold.
After startig it again here was no more high idle but the valves are noisey since i know thats not outta the normal i didnt think nothing of it but when i put it into gear the jeeps vibes violently and its hard to accelerate it doesnt seem to go past the 30mph mark and thats really stepping on the peddle..? im stumped please help!
