I haven't had it yet and had that 27.8psi spike at Wannagofast but if it does happen I've rethought L19s and I'll go with a 625 setup. Good luck buddy.

lol, You will. It is just a matter of time.

Something to think about. If the torque backed off. You want to know if the studs stretched, nuts backed off, threads in hole pulled, etc.

I know it was awesome while it lasted...I was really hoping to see it again at ZdayZ 2020

Trying to figure out what I am going to do besides getting a can of gas and a match.

Your emotions are all over the place right now. I know that feeling very well.

One minute, let's tear it apart right now and see what happened.

Who has a full 5 gal gas can, matches, and hot dogs.

I'm parting it out and selling everything.

Then having to listen to the better half saying, I told you so.

Give it some time. Calm your nerves. Clean the head before making any major decisions.

I know you have your other engine; unsure exactly how much they removed off of it for the built one.
I’d be happy to loan a hand & help swap out

You have a nice concrete pad that’s covered; if you get the proper lifting stuff.....I’ll setup a date; but I’m not gonna rush anything.
It will be performed slow & steady, regardless of the time it takes

Lmk, I’ll be there to help

Guys, the motor is done. The headgasket blew so bad I would not be surprised if it torched a cylinder wall. The deck has no doubt been distorted. The next decision I make will be a long and drawn out process. Only time will tell which way to go. I will more than likely be building off my spare motor. No way pulling the heads and replacing the headgaskets is going to cut it. I have a dead cylinder for sure. That hole is fubar.

Pull the spark plugs and see what they look like. Lets just say curiosity.

It tried to hydrolock when I put coolant back in it after I replaced the clamp and put the hose back on. I told you it is fubar.

Should of bought a mustang..

jk Sorry to hear about this. That has to be extremely frustrating dumping an insane amount of time and resources into a build just for something like that to happen. This thread provides alot of helpful information for us and I appreciate it, so whatever decision you go with I support.
