hi guys
well after 3 day of the 5 being road bound it went pop.
i was in 5th at 5500rpm
afr's at 12
water temp at 70 degrees
oil pressure at 5 bar
and then the headgaset let go.
uber amounts of smoke and a megga mess in the engine bay.
found a headgasket and bolts on the shelf at wag benets so striped her down
cleaned her up and put it back together, checked block and head every thing looked ok. so on it went
started it up and she fired strait away and idled ok
but ive got a very loud tapping from the top end.
could i have bent a valve through hydrolick lock?
why did the head gasket go?
i only have 2 possible reasons. head lift or **** gasket
what u rekon
