I've seen this before on a car that got hot , sent the head in and got it checked out which came back A-ok , had it planed anyway , bought a new HG and problem solved ... We put it down to the Hg being 'flattened off' caused by over heating :) .

pics of what ?? honesly everything minta.

Heads going to rhemac tomorrow should find out about that tuesday .

But if its not that the only other place i can think they could be mixing is hrought the turbo ????

2 head studs i pulled out had oil thought it was nothing unusal ?? just got in there wen i pulled em up or something ???

Not 2 sure on a 25 but a 26 pumps oil past the head studs for the cam bearings.Just look on the head down the headstud holes & there will be 2 holes to let the oil around the headstud.Was it pure oil on the studs u pulled out?

Head is now at Mechanicks getting tessted and faced.Hopefully something come backs there but bye the first look he was happy with it.Ive just finished cleaning most the gasket of of the block and is no visual signs there as im sitting around doing nothing its stating to bother me with what it could actually be.

So any news as yet?

Was the head pressure tested hot?

Did you dye penetrant the block deck surface while it (the head) was off?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
