Unfortunately my headgasket started leaking about 3-4months ago, was making 302-308 rwkwk on 19lb on 98. Fixed it in a couple of weekends, Put new nissan headgasket and head bolts. Aiming for 340rwkw and up on e85 :) Anyways here's how it looked when i cracked open the head!

With that cylinder pressure I would be swapping out the factory head bolts for some ARP 625+. Your call at the end of the day... Perhaps you enjoy changing head gaskets. :P

Doing jobs like that is my occupation. If she shits a gasket ill put a mls gasket and uprated head bolts or arp studs

Are you another Kiwi? We only have E85 at two pumps in NZ that I am aware of. There are guys who bring in Sucrogen E85 (works out as like $3 a litre) and we've used this on flex fuel cars: http://www.trademe.co.nz/home-living/cleaning-bins/other/auction-634702052.htm

I've got a spare motor, things never break when you've got a spare :D

E85 is still hard work in NZ

Looks like i gotta put a spare short motor aside and wind the boost up. Test your theory

Yeah, still only the two pumps. Taupiri Auto Store have drums of Gull E85 which works out around $3 a litre too, may end up having to go that way
