that sucks liz. it's always harsh to get punished for someone elses mistakes. i hope you have comp insurance and if you do, ring them right away. I have been screwed twice in the past when un-inured knobs hit me, and my cars were also un-insured at the time. the first time cost be about a grand and the second time about three and a half :( now i always make sure my cars have full comp insurance to protect me from other bone heads mistakes.

it will be tough going for you as I guess they'll just pay you out for a non-turbo silvia :mad: if you can try and buy the wreck so you can get the engine back (if it's ok).

on the bright side you still have your health! so booze on I say and start looking for a new car. :mad:

      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.
