Thread revival... :wOOt:

Good luck Jimi!

was wondering recently what youd been up to, sorry to hear about the HG tho

What up Ben. No biggie, I knew it was a long shot, but thought I would give it a try anyway, seeing how hard it is to track down a well built engine. So what have you been up to? Did you join the military or what?

How did it blow? The wastegate did not open and over boosted? No fuel cut?

That sux, I thought you had found a good one...bummer....

No, It's a long story, but the head was warped slightly from the rear timing cover not being decked with the block (thanks JARCO!), that blew HG #1 on cylinder #1, and then I redid the rear timing cover to match the block But did not redeck the head as it was at it's limit. Put a new HG on but the head was warped from being bolted down to an uneven surface..so yeah...this is the result.....
