Here is the link.

I sure since he used this he has not blown a head gasket. Here is a picture of the bottle.

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.

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?

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.

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?
