After lurking for awhile i decided to join all of you.
I will be spending some quality time here as i just popped the head gasket on my truck.
What i learned today is that 21*timing,#5 plate,4k gsk,DDP delivery valves,DDP 110hp injectors,BD towing twins,60lb valve springs(and more stuff i forgot)is too much for the o-ringed/stud kit sealed head gasket.
And i didn't even really get after it.
Happy Friday the 13th.

I,m new myself. Welcome. 6b as in plate?

Something seems a bit amiss. I wouldn't have thought you would lose a headgasket with that setup. Do you know what your drive pressure was?

 

timing was way to high for his set up drive pressure was way up for what i can tell

 

Welcome to the forum, glad to have ya, somethin does seem kinda out of wack

 

Thanks for the welcome.
I do not know what the drive pressure is/was.

I want to back the timing off to 18*.

Thanks.I think the 21* timing is the problem.This thing runs low EGTs and i can bury the 50lb boost gauge.
