As the the tittle says. Its weird cuz it leaks exhaust thru the block and the head. My car destened to not be tuned!!! LOL! Every time i set an apponitent something happens. Any how im gonna let them deal with it im tired of working on it. They said they should be done by Friday. They said the shop that might have installed them last time when i did the new block. Might have done a half ass job!!!! Oh well. Thats it

And yes it does suck

Thats a pretty severe head gasket blow. To have enough room to blow exhaust through the head gasket. But if the hole was that bad that cylinder would hardly have any compression at all. Thats nuts.

i changed 4 of them in a month....so yeah, i know whats thats like man.....99% of the time when you blow a HG, compression will get into the water jacket. did it puke coolant everywhere?

exhaust blowing out IMO isnt a blown head gasket...that large of a lift would cause no compression at all and it would be dead.

Are you sure the head/block is flat?

Im been driving this block and heads for a while, wouldn't there have been a leak the at least sooner than now. And no there was no coolant everywere. Oil was clean. There thinking the head bolt might have come loose and burnt tru it. I wouldn't doubt since i didnt like the craftmanship that put together the block to the heads. But they will know for sure tomorrow when they tear it down. Im not touchng my car right now. Since my back has been killing and i can barely pick up any heavy stuff. If not i would be glad to

I mentioned that you needed a wideband back on oct 10th on the other site. You also need to keep your foot out of it, and back out some timing till you get the AFR dialed in.
