    Just what I was gonna say. Blowing a head gasket saved you from destroying a piston. Make sure you get a wideband and a tune before you even drive it.

        We used to call the head gasket a boost fuse back in the day lol.

            Why are there so many mixed thoughts about o-ringing and MLS Headgaskets?

                There are no mixed thoughts.
                One is cheaper, requires more labor, technically stronger and is an old hot-rod thing.
                Other is more expensive, requires a completely flat head/block, and is also definitely power-capable.

                        100 GRM is what you want.

                            Pics or description of said "creativeness" for the 6th cylinder?
