  I still can't believe the stock head gasket blew out that fast.
   Put another fiber gasket in there so you can drive it while waiting for the special gasket,... they're cheap.
   Just to satisfy my curiousity  

  
  I know HG are easy to change....but I'm not going to put a fiber back in..just to pull it back out in a couple weeks to put my MLS on..I dont need the car that bad :oops:  :lol:
  I will NEVER run a fiber gasket again on this car
  I'm pretty sure if I would done a proper retorque I would not have blown it so fast...but I'm wanting some big reliable boost numbers and I know fiber will not/can not be reliable with high boost everyday...I really think my problem was the lack of retoruqe..lots of guys run pretty big boost on fiber..shoot that was half the reason I ran fiber and ARP's...I read about lots of guys having no problems......just make sure you retorque....warm engine with no coolant pressure on the system....let engine cool...retoruqe...drive happy :lol:

  If you were closer i'd give you the fiber one i ordered by accident. I pad 15$ for it. It's a three hole no-name.
  
  According to google earth you are 1,572 km away (15 hour drive)
  Wow that huge salt lake is kinda neat  :oops:
  
  I've always wanted to snowboard in Utah :oops:  :oops:  :oops:
  
  
  After fooling around on google earth around Utah i've decided what once my car is running again im going on a road trip to salt lake city and to utah lake. (after this ski season is over i got a season pass at a local hill  :lol: )

  
  thanks for the offer Ed!....but I'm done with fiber gaskets!

• well there we have it!!! nice job!!
  I do like this cover better then the G60 since the oil cap is flipped...this way it does not interfere with my intercooler piping.

• I wonder if that square breather thingy would work on 1.6 / 1.9 diesel head... That would look much more modern than the hockey puck which I would scrap in a minute if it wasn't so damn necessery...

• You get this thing back on the road yet?
  
  You have had 5 days now not counting the date you received the gasket.
  
  Quit screwing around already!!  :lol:
