Pulled motor apart today...head gasket was cracked or blown between each cylinder!!!
I pulled my motor apart today expecting head gasket or just head problems. It was worse than i expected. The head gasket on the left side was completely blown out in between 2 pistons, cracked in between the next 2, and the last 4 were smushed to about 1/16 of an inch thick. Ha no wonder it was runnin so rough. How much of a power gain do you think ill see after gettin this fixed. Its been like this at least a little bit since i bought the car cuz its never ran as strong as it should.

Yea...there was no separation between all 4 cylinders on the left side. They were all flowing into each other. The gasket was shot to s**t.

u raced with blown HG?
u may have warped a head driving like that for so long
since its apart anyway getting the e7's ported/polished wouldnt be a bad idea
