you should consider to treat all your engine componenys with cryogenic treatment. Meaninf seep freeze it with liquid nitro below -200C+. It said to strengthed the metal by at least 30% i think. I saw it years agoa in that documentary beyond 2000,

BLACK stagea hmm perhaps we should cut and past onto the pics a black unicorn if we can fin it :D . It will be cool.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      If your head gasket lifted, you should have seen a coolant pressure spike. There's no need for a copper gasket/fire rings at 30psi. An MLS with perfectly clean/flat mating surfaces should suffice.

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
