Hold Up

[turbo06]

Ok how long are the HG from the dealer gunna last you? I got one from the dealer not too long ago but is it gunna blow in know time or are they designed to hold now like the metal ones?

The head gasket itself was never the problem. It's the tension of the head bolts that's the culprit.

Depends on how much power you are running, what kind of torque it was clamped at, and how well tuned your engine is.

Given the right circumstances, it will last a very long time.

sweet!! So in other words don't worry about a MHL. coo:biglaugh:

 

[GrimJack]

MHG are for two kinds of people.
1. People who want to put down lots of power.
2. People who don't want to mess with another HG ever.

OEM head gaskets are for another type of people.
1. People who don't mind raplacing a gasket if they have to.
2. People who won't push the car much beyond stock specs.
3. People who don't want to tear the entire engine apart to get the block & head surfaced properly for a MHG.

Just like games of chance at the curcus, you pay your money and take your chances.

If you detonate severely, what would you rather loose? The gasket or the shortblock?

 

[GrimJack]

If you detonate severely, you are going to kill both, even with a stock HG. Ask me how I know.

4. People who are going to be selling their car and just dont care about it...

Plenty of headgaskets have been blown under boost that arent Supras, while saving the shortblock. Cast pistons doesnt help though.
