dont really know. i can drive it a little and the overflow will be a little higher and will keep going till well it overflows

 

Block test confirms head gasket it is. gonna get it studded and o ringed gasket

 

Ouch sry to hear...any idea why it blew?

 

Probly for this Auto Tech shop i brought it to in Chesterfield to have a whistle checked out i was worried was the turbo goin out. They "test" drove it 10 miles! when i went to get it they said the coolant over flowed on them. i was like well i never had that happen to me before i kinda would have noticed and they say well the cap might be bad and put a new ****y one on. had the problem ever since. and i got another new cap and thermostat...

 

**** I'd o back and *****! Maybe you'll get lucky and they will replace it

 

I dont even wanna bring it back to the *******s

 

Whats a good rugged gasket to use? a copper one? with arp headstuds

 

OEM gasket with ARP heastuds

 

I run the stock head gasket and ARPs and have dyno'd upper 700 hp and low 10 sec passes @ 40 psi of boost.

 

really oem? not like an oring one or anything? i was just told i should use an oringed one thats all just lookin for more opinions

 

OEM for sure, i run it in my car. 42psi 715awhp on buschurs dyno

 

Alright is it the ARP headstuds that make the big difference? kuz as far as engine work mines stock just an Injen intake done by a PO dont think that adds much if any boost.. and i plan on keeping stock boost. only got 52k on it and the HG is bad or atleast the heads lifted something a block test confirmed i have exhaust gas in my radiator

 

theres no reason not to do ARP's since your in there! the head will be off, might as well do them, IMO they are a very cheap insurance

 

Yeah i mean i dont really want it to happen again.. that why i was wondering about a better gasket. I havent got to drive it all summer really and i park it all winter kuz i live in nh and in the woods
