also sometimes in the moring i have to work the steering wheel a little to get the power steering going and for the rest of the day it is fine exept for ever once in a while it will sqeek turning left. also in the morning idling it kinda makes a weird noise that sounds like the power steering. any thoughs? anything will help

Hmmm and with a head gasket you have to remove almost everything on that side of the engine. So there is a good chance you didn't put it together right lol.
