oil/coolant leak
 

Ok I dont know what's going on really and I'm hoping that someone does

So I was running smarty and I wanted a monitor instead so I put a edge juice w attitude cts in and test drive it and got back and it smelt like burning out so I shut it off and popped the hood to find oil everywhere and I looked on the ground and I had oil coming out the front somewhere and coolant out the back so I sprayed it all off with ether and found the oil was coming from between the block and the head and haven't really looked for the coolant yet so immediately I thought head gasket but is there oil pressure going to the head in the front in a 24V cause I have been told that there was no pressure there so I didn't know if that was a possibility

Please let me know if you would have an idea of what this could be
thanks to all

Did you still have the smarty loaded while trying the edge, if so, what setting were you on, if you had it adding timeing then my guess would be too much cylinder pressure, blown head-gasket, but I'm no engine guru, just a guess.

the rocker arms get fed oil through passages in block that comes up through head gasket and head. sounds like you popped the headgasket.

sounds like a head gasket

I did take my smarty off before i hooked up the edge but thank you everyone that is what i was thinking and I have it in the shop now and am taking the head off the change the head gasket, while I am doing that any recommendations on head gaskets for holding up to 60 lbs of boost with head studs

you could always fire ring or o-ring for reassurance. Id look into getting a set of stiffer valve springs too if you dont already have them.

Yea that was the next thing that I was thinking about doing since I have to take the head off

Now if you just put new head studs in with a stock head gasket wat kind of boost can you handle then.

I put a new gasket on at the same time but I was running about 50 to 53

while it's off save yourself the trouble of having to do it again and o-ring it and stud it and be done. I did this and it's held 85psi for 2 years racing everything chance I got. The cost to do it now it's less than doing something again later. also use a factory head gasket
