Hardblok water jacket filler. Two inches in each bank and problem solved. Only drawback is engine has to be on engine stand to use this stuff. 190,000 miles of hard driving to prove it works.

Yeah that sucks. I drive in the city every day and I get pulled over quite often. I guess the laws are more restrictive in CA. GL though and just be careful.

Just a thought, pull the vacuum line off the fuel pressure regulator and make sure fuel isn't coming out. It's pretty common for the diaphragm to bust and allow fuel through. Otherwise +1 on the cat.
