So i just heard back from the guys at R.A.D., one of the head gaskets failed, which we knew, but nothing is warped, which is great news. There was also no damage to the bearings and no signs of detonation at all, so the engine is healthy.

Now since the engine is out, time for some upgrades:

Cosworth headgaskets
R.A.D. v-band exhaust manifolds
Tial v-band turbine housings
Tial external wastegates
Re-routing the coolant lines to the turbos
AeroJacket vented hood, being delivered next week.

The plan is to see how this holds up next summer. Assuming theres no overheating issues I will likely upgrade to GTX2867R compressors.
