Took my "boosted" car for a rip down the road. <1 mile on the full engine refresh and whatnot, head gasket blows on an oringed block with arp studs. This was with zero boost, as my turbo adapter is of poor fitment (got it money now) and had a huge exhaust leak preventing boost.
Went to pull the head today, and noticed this.
So right now I have a 7v m20b25. I had oil pressure ~50psi. This car does not want to drive and be enjoyed :(
On another note, any other rocker arm ideas besides IE? Billet must be nuts, 2k for arms.. Thats the price of the car and the engine rebuild of my car. I would assume replace all 12 rocker arms but is there any reason not to replace only the intake? I find it funny that 5 arms broke all intake, and my buddy has a spare 885 head with a broken intake arm aswell..
At this rate, I do not even want to see how the head gasket and bottom end look.
