#94011, "Re-use head bolts!"


          

Finally I see the limit of the factory re-use head bolts. These are the head bolts from the factory with 120,xxx miles on it. The head gasket lifted in the middle, allowing compression to pass by the multi layer. My radiator broke from the pressure buildup. I had no overheaing issues, no oil & coolant mixture. It been around 3 years from fisrt rebuild.
See the head gasket,

FRONT, look OK?

BACK, look OK?
Look Again! I open the gasket and see where the gasket is leaking.

Inside gasket.

See the leak?

Also, combustion is good on the pistons. If tuned right, the 8-injector setup is a really good alternative for high boost, high HP.

I'm waitng for the new ARP head studs, Gator Axles, 24" Slicks and try running 30psi. 11 seconds, here I come!

I haven't got them yet. That will be my next item. I will have them make center section of the axles custom made for my application. I will post pictures and price as soon as I get them.
