Whit 10-31-2009 08:44 AM

1st_gen_puller 10-31-2009 08:47 AM

Whit 10-31-2009 08:53 AM

No but be patient I bet someone here has

found this from Jason at DieselNut

Cometic has a pretty cool Gasket out, and it can be had with a Oring build in it. No need to machine anything. You do have to make sure the head and the block are flat, no waves or anything. These are MLS gaskets similar to the units on the CR trucks. I would sugest trying one of those along with some 12mm studs and I think that will work fine, as long as you don't have some crazy twins set up or something, but you will have to find more fuel before getting that kind of boost.

Is your gasket blown currently?

alright.. every single one of the gaskets i've blown have been on a friday.. 6 of them.. all on fridays.. lol hey it gives me time to get some good info from here though..

Whit 10-31-2009 09:17 AM

simple fix there........quit drivin on fridays :humm:


damn it dude..........6 gaskets now, do you know the definition of insanity, its continuing to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results

1st_gen_puller 10-31-2009 09:24 AM

not worried about driving it now.. lol i forget till it happens.. actually i just now realized that they all happened on friday..

the thing that pisses me off is once its had a heat cycle or 2 though it the thing will hold 60 psi.. but if u even touch the pedal without a warmup of at least 5 mins.. even if u dont build any boost.. it will still blow..
