I currently blew my head gasket on my 2.4 due to over boosting I was wondering if I need to get my head resurfaced before i put new head gasket on? I'm currently running h11 studs. Thanks for input.

 

sorry to hear that, which gasket did u use 63 or 64 and brand.

 

If you didn't resurface the head the first time, you definitely should this time.

 

How about you pull the head and check/ gauge for flatness ? It doesn't matter if you did it the first, second or third. You have to check each time, or have a machine shop measure the variance. If its flat and within spec, you can go ahead. Sometimes you can get away a couple times and still be within spec for flatness.

 

for a blown head gasket i agree with bekevo... normal use and you pull things apart for whatever reason... definitely not necessary on a cast iron block... the head is a different story... if you lay it on a washer that you didnt notice and it sat like that for a 1hr day week doesnt matter.. check it...

 

I was using a cometic head gasket going with cosworth now.

 

If I was you I would check the deck make sure she's straight and your might as well do a quick refresh on the head just incase.

 

I'm just pissed because the motor has 1000 miles on it fully built had all this machine work done now I gotta do it again lol
