Modifications:
trickflow twisted wedge heads, stage 1 camshaft, street heat intake
arp head bolts. felpro 1011-1 head gaskets.
had good air/fuel on the dyno and made the hp in my sig.
24lb injectors/ 76mm c&L mass air meter & pipe /70mm throttle body
190lph fuel pump/1 5/8 headers/2.5" offroad xpipe / dynomax super turbos

water in coolant (approx 1.5L, sat for 1.5 years like this).
it blew out a while back, just noticed fog from the tailpipes and foam in the rad one day so i stopped driving it and parked it. went to start it a few times during that period of 1.5 years and it heated up immediatly (240*) so i shut it down each time within a few mins.

finally got it towed from my dads 1.5 years later (had emergencies that kept me away from it) to my garage and got it taken apart. thats what i found.

just wondering which ports in the head were for water, and which were for oil. Im trying to figure out if the coolant leak into the oil was from the gasket or the front covor(cam covor, which i never took apart yet, and would like not to if possible).

Head gaskets suck

Take the head to any machine shop to make sure its not warped. However I popped one on my tfs heads and it only got up to 225 degrees, they were not warped at all. Drink lots of beer, its seems to make the task that much funner. :cheers:
