Finally blew my OEM HG. :-D

[MK3Brent]

How long will it be down? Couple more hours...:rofl:
(nah, I need to order a cometic and ARP studs first.. go get the head cut probably.)


I just pulled the head off this morning, and it's ROUGH.... I shot some video of it, it'll be on my youtube channel in a few minutes.

Cyl #6 got it the worst... but most of the water jackets are pushed out. (That's how ya do it!)

Bounty: I was on the 60-trim for about 2 years, then the 66mm for 1 and now the 4088 for about, I'd say, 4-5 months? (not sure anymore.)

 

[LilMissMkIII]

I can't believe it's lasted as long as it has!

Congrats mate!

Here's hoping mine isn't next!!!!

Brent, you guys didn't come back yesterday? Shoot me your phone # in PM.

 

[steven89]

Do you have any pictures of your boost leak detector? I need to make one to have around here since I have two supras to take care of.

0o0o so the OEM HG will hold my power goals with a good tune. =D

Thats awesome!

 

[GrimJack]

That looks like about the same as what I did - 20+ PSI on a 60-1 CT, stock head gasket, ARPs to 75 foot pounds.

Killed it with detonation, same as you.

Bad news is, I also cracked three pistons... I suspect that detonation bad enough to push the gasket out that far is also more than the stock pistons can take.

 

[MK3Brent]

Yeah, I just took the head off to see the gasket... the pretty much called it a day.

I should inspect the pistons too.

Might do that tonight.. I got nothing else to do.


Ali- I'll pm you.

Thanks for the link Steven.

Boost spikes FTL

 

[pimptrizkit]

good show.


i blew my replaced stock head gasket in less then 4 weeks at 14psi on the stock turbo.


my deck was not flat though



i found that out after my mhg didn't seal.



my stocker had stretched a few ring's furhter then that,

i still ran those pistons for awhile..

i prolly lost it to detenation, i was at the strip hittin fuel cut and i had ran the stripp backing out of the throttle keeping it form hitting fuel cut.

i lost it about 3/4 down the 1/4 and lost almost all power since burning coolant...

 

[MK3Brent]

I think I'm going to do a full build on this engine now after looking at everything.

Thinking a .020 over JE, shot peened rods... or eagles will do nicely.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

so eta on this build? Be cool like dave!

Well, looks like I'll be picking up some pistons in the next couple weeks... I just need to start accumulating parts.

I'll probably be done by May at the latest I'm supposing.


I guess I'll start a build thread once I get the stuff.

 

[BlackMKIII]

That certainly is Boondock Saints. Yet again, it's #6. Always 5 or 6... :nono:

Good luck with the build!
