This is an extension of my other thread Murphys Law where I talked about coolant blowing out the overflow.
As already stated, the T-stat checked out good so that's not the culprit. It must be loosing gasket seal under boost. I did a cranking compression test a all cylinders are consistent in the 120psi range. I'm not even going to bother with a leak down test as I believe it wont tell anything. Simply not enough pressure under the testing conditions to duplicate the problem.
Below are the cranking test results.
Now for the gasket decision. I've heard two types discussed here and there. Cometic and Felpro 9333. Which should I go with? I'm pretty sure whats on there now if Felpro 8548PT2 and I reused the TTY bolts like a fool. I'm getting APR stud kit this time around.
