DARETT Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Was it overheating at all? Or just the water spurting out on high boost that made you carry out the test to confirm the gasket was gone?.. Shame about the MLR, but there's plenty of events later in the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about the MLR, but there's plenty of events later in the year Never got hot, just spat water out everytime I got on boost, rad has expanded a lot.

SteveR Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Is there a way to stop that from happening again, apart from torquing down the head even more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The L19 studs would probably help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 It won't happen again once the L19's are installed, oversight on my part, I should have spec'd them last time. Not a big deal, Lee knows about it and it will be an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your version of "easy fix" and mine aren't the same; for me that would be fitting new tyre dust caps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Lee took the head off this morning to fit the new gasket, dropped it to his machinist for crack testing and skimming, should be back in a day or two and he will put it back together with a new HKS 1.2mm head gasket and L19 ARP head studs, Compression will be slightly higher now, I will be at the Austec meet the weekend, Nice fast turn around from SRD.
