I recently had my engine from my 1987 GN completely rebuilt. The builder used a Fel-pro head gasket .065 thick. I was driving the car, very easy, with less than 100 miles on it and it started smoking very bad. I shut is down and a compression check was performed. #3 cylinder had no compression. Figuring it burnt a piston the mechanic tore down the engine and found the head gasket “blew apart” around the #3 cylinder. I purchased a Custom GN1 Cometic head gasket from GN1 Performance in California. This will be installed this week.
Any suggestions or anyone have experience with something like this happening? My car is basically stock with 42lb injectors, no alcohol, etc.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
