Nahh..... I dont even have a garage.

My boss is cool with me living in the shop, I mean staying after hours to work on my stuff.

Hit the game/chat room real quick...

Dont give up I am sure I have a solution for you blowing your head. I am a big mercedes diesel fan and have followed this guy who is putting out alot of ponies from a 5 banger.

I sure since he used this he has not blown a head gasket. Here is a picture of the bottle.
before he used the spray he went threw MANY head gaskets

Thanks for the advise!

In this case I don't think that would have helped much...............

Just for giggles I checked to see if any of the head bolts lost some torque, but they were all tight.

Dag nabbit!

Well, knowing you (speedy), you'll have the thing back together yesterday.

LOL

Well time is running out, I need this damn thing working for the summer months, I gotta trailer to haul!

Actually what I really need is a spare truck so I can just switch em out when they break.:smiley_roll1:

So something has been bugging me...........why cylinder #1?

Rod popped out of #1 in my old engine, and blew a gasket on #1 on the new engine.

This is a completely different engine, crank, cam, block, heads, injectors, so what is the culprit?

Just a coincidence, tuning related, or engine design?


:hmmm:

I'm hoping it's just a coincidence for you. I can't see any common denominators at this time.....like you said....everything's different.

We can always blame the CMP sensor. :sigh:

I was reading about fuel bowl deletion. They stated that one of the cylinders gets starved of fuel with the fuel bowl. Also do you have a blow off valve?
