Need Opinions!!!!
« on: November 02, 2006, 11:34:03 pm »
Well I'm just about ready to hang up my wrenches!!!! :evil: This was the third time I changed my headgasket in 6months. I've gone through a snap v-belt caused an overheat, lost my footing while installing my head on the block and drop the bottom of the head on top of the injection pump.  So both times I got someone to check for flatness/plane the surface.  This time everything was tight till I installed a boost controller.  I'm only running 11psi (indicating).  And now a week later I'm seeing a small amount oil coming out of the supply and return oil ports (in between no.2 and no.3 cycl).  Now I got ARP Head Studs Installed and I'm toying with the idea of checking the torque or slighty retorquing them (extra 2-5 ft-lbs).  It seems its only leaking when I'm really driving hard.

 Anyway I now there are alot of experts on this site, so what do you guys think.
(please spare my ego)

Cheers!
