120365, What headgasket should I get.
Posted by surgeon_general, Dec-28-06 04:15 PM
I just blew my headgasket, Im yet to rip the motor apart, but i need advice on which to buy, I havent researched them yet, but I want your opinions anyway. Im running some boost. your average 12:1 fmu ~5-7 psi turbo build. Is there any that are fairly tall, or what recommendations do you have for me. My hours of boost time were amazing. Im hooked.

If I had a rubber hose I'd beat you for putting that wing on your car.

lawl, I would too.

Hey, at least he is taking the bashing like a man, and not whining about it like some I have seen. Do try to utilize the search though man, it is a good thing.

OEM MLS headgasket and might as well do your timing belt and idler/tensioner pulleys if they haven't been replaced. Partsdinosaur.com has all the OEM parts you will need and they are I would say one of the most inexpensive places to purchase your parts for a stock rebuild.

ahahaha. thanks so much. Concept illusions are good guys, i got arp studs and a mls headgasket in the mail, plus some other stuff i needed.

When i read the rubber hose it flashed me back to the Christmas Vacation i just watched over the holidays.

I only paid 50 for the wing, that much rice per dollar amount, i had to buy it.

I feel your pain there. I had a bearing die on the t-belt tensioner pulley. My poor car at 10 valves. A $300 head job later and the car runs better than ever.
