What was the cause? To much fuel? Boost Spike?

Failed gasket, not quite sure why... could just be a bad part or I didnt have enough pressure on the gasket itself.... When we do the head this time were going to drop the O-rings protrusion 0.005 to get a little more clamping on the gasket.

I want to do a cam if the head checks out OK, plus this way I can get to the motor to clean it.

I took the canister off last year and ran a tube straight down but It was too late, Ill have to clean the radiator. I didnt realize how bad it was until I pulled it!!

I would definitely recommend a cam now if you ever considered it. It's an easy job from this point out.
