I think the plug incident had something to do with this.
I just hope a chunk of piston didnt take a ride threw the turbo.

I just picked up the new motor today. The head gasket will lower the compression a little for that extra safety factor.

It was used, 14,000 miles.
I seriously dont think im going to build the motor in this car.
I'm happy with 220 whp.
Now i need small stuff, like cam gears, motor mounts, new struts/shocks, gauges, race seats. Then Im done.
I want something else in a few years.

Get the studs for that head since you are gonna have it off anyway. Jason at New Generation Auto said it would be a good idea since that can be a weak point too.

you could also get the head ported and polished, B & M Cylinder head in ramsey does a oustanding job. they did the head work on my Mud Truck and OMFG did that engine never sound/run so sweet after that
