The Headgasket will come apart when you will the head off so you have no choice but to replace it, but make sure you clean every scrap of the oem gasket before trying to put the new item on. Standard head bolts should always be replaced when the head is removed as the strech when torqued.

I would do a comp test first to see if anything is damaged. I cant imagine you could hear a spark plug tip rattling around in your cylinder. If it came off in your motor it would have melted off so either the damage is done, or it has come out the exhaust. A comp test will tell you if it has damaged the valves/bores. If the comp is good, i would keep driving it.

hey i have a socket set and i have ur normal tools. shifters spanners and screw drivers...

i looked under the rocketcovers and i notice there are allenkey bolts for the head...

any other tool that i might need in the process of getting the head of the rb25

I want me some rockets for my line now!

lol but good luck with the job if it comes to pullin the head off. Maybe get some work done while you're at it? :) Sounds like a good excuse for some modding!

Nicely done mate!

I always struggle to find the link I downloaded it off, and I know it can be a bitch finding workshop manuals for cars online most of the time.

      Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
