indies are the only way to go, IMO.

thanks anyways chris but jaun came throught for me. got me a snap-on one at that thanks again j. turns out its just as i thought. the copper headgasket toast.i can put air in cyl 1 and have it come out the spark plug hole in #4!!! not to mention its pushing coolent and oil like its its job. this is a good thing tho, that means its not the head or block that cost me 1.6 million dollars btw the tranny shold be here sometime later this week or early next week.

 

sounds like you need a better tune.. were both surfaces prepped properly and the gasket sprayed? did you torque the studs down enough? which copper gasket did you have?

 

both surfaces were prepped, its was the titan ics, i believe it was a # of things that went wrong there, no biggi tho. im just going to put a 4 layer on there and roll with it.

 

A metal head gasket blows for a reason. Either bad tune, bad surface, or improper torque, or some random mishap which caused enough detonation to lift the head and destroy the seal.

 

maybe running to much boost on pump gas

 

That's a bit subjective. I'd say "too much boost" falls into the incorrect tune category. pump gas can go far with the right tune.

 

i was able to run around 24psi with little to no knock, so im pretty sure it wasn't that. i agree that i need to take it to the dyon to have it pro tuned( not to mention i just want to know what it will do. i have a few bugs to work out 1st before that happens. soon tho. i have a feeling that it was the torque was wrong when i 1st put it on. i also never retorqued it after a heat cycle. no biggie, i have the motor out anyways and im changing a few things so this is the perfect time to do it. if it ran that good on a shit hg i cant wait to see what it wil do with one that actualy seals. still waiting on the call from shep for them to tell me what exactly i did to the tranny. all i know is teeth came out when i draned the fluid haha.
