Yeah Tony (a.e.s ) checked the deck and the heads . All was fine .

The heads are lifting NOT blowing the gaskets . Big difference !

And just for the record we had 20 passes on those gaskets with no problems , Until we banged it off the rev limiter .
Nice theory! I've banged mine off the limiter MANY times!!! Never leaked a drop! Next theory?

NO .. That timing is just fine there ,the motor is pushing the heads off somewere down in the lower part of the tune up .

If you look at are racepak log you can see were the motor start to lug down were its tryin to get through the convertor and thats where I think this thing is gettin hurt . Not up top .

I NEVER pushed one drop of water since I put the LSX in and I'm 200 lbs heavier and have been faster than him.


You never pushed one drop off water since you DRY DECKED that motor !!!


Another big difference .

Plus you never change your plugs in that car so how do you know if you have any rust on them .. hehe

What's the quench in the motor? How much is the oring out of the block, How deep is the receiver groove in the head? How much meat between the cylinders where he's blowing all the gaskets? What's the build sheet look like on the motor?

When you have people runiing 45 lbs of boost with more timing and never blowing gaskets with the same motor. Well I would say that would be a pretty good place to start looking. Mike backfires his motor like your popping pop corn, and that's with nitrous! How many head gaskets has he gone through? See the pattern?

LMFAO ... Yeah your right about mikes **** but he is on MLS gaskets and when his **** pops like that I have to weld up his heads every time he blows a gasket , Mls head gaskets do not give out like copper ones do . When the MLS go you better be prepared to weld up alot of **** . Mike just got done putting a new sleeve in his block because it burned the block and heads so deep .
You cant com pair apples to oranges .
