STS blown head gasket?? What head gasket
I have a 2000 camaro with a T67 with 9 pounds of boost. I have methanol injection 42lb injectors and updated valve springs. About 2 months ago I was running the boost and the car just like shut down and could barely run. It sounded like a miss fire and was smoking really bad. Allot of the vacuum lines were blown off the turbo and 1 on the engine. Well I was out to sea allot and today I went to look at it and it started up and ran but made noises and I noticed the oil is really milky so I know the head gasket is blown. What head gasket and bolts should I get? I have stock heads. And do you think something else might be wrong and what should I look for? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Im with conan I run gm mls gaskets and arp bolts. But I would also look at other things as well like fuel pressure and the meth. It could have run lean to cause more pressure in the motor. I never heard about vac lines blowing off the turbo that could have caused a boost spike and lifted the heads.

I have a methonal injection kit and run a mixture of 70/30. I hope i did not break any rings. The motor is making alot of taping noises. I plan on tearing the heads off in 3 weeks when i get back from training. Can you recomend any places to buy those parts?

It might not show the damage that could have been done to rings, pistons and rods if you just take off the heads. Mine looked perfect from the top. I broke #7 in the ring area and scorched two rod bearings.

while it might be a blown head gasket,i betting it's a broken piston and a cracked cylinder-seen this several times before.The pistons seem to let go before the head gaskets in the ls1's
