Turbo out of order

[TTA984]

That can be fixed if all you got is a blown headgasket, I did the same thing at one time. If these cars are run hard and you have knock, it will eat away at the headgasket and they will blow.

I hope it is not worse or debris getting in bearings in the lower end! Good luck, but a headgasket is really not a big deal.

Yep I hope there is nothing else wrong, will know about it tomorrow. If it is just a head gasket to replace it is not that bad in the end.

Yes, mine was done out of the car. It has been great since then!

Well they open the engine and now I know what is wrong with it. Just have a look.

So I am looking for a piece to replace it. Cylinder Head gasket right ? (not so good with technical english)

ouch. hope the gasket is all you need!

Damn, I feel your pain ... hope nothing else been damaged.

Remember the original head bolts are torque to yield and can not be re-used so you need either new original style bolts or go with ARP bolts that can be re-used (I would recommend this route).

There's a post on the forum with regards to the correct length ARP bolts (and washers) to order, you will also have a bit of interference with the headers as the head/washer is slightly higher/larger than stock so header flange will need to be cleared (just file a slot for each head bolt and that's it).

At least there is no milkshake, follow the correct pattern when tightening bolts. Octane starts to go away in 2 weeks so use fresh gas as much as possible.
