Head gaskets

Use the 84-85 head gaskets. Get two pair. Spray both sides of all gaskets with a spray paint that has metalic flakes in it. Torque heads down. Call GSCA or Jason Cramer, they will fill you in on the benefits of this combo.

Lotsa smoke and misses a bit.

yep thats a bad one
the problems im having
blowing oil out of the breather stacks worse on pass. side
and im always seeing bubbles come up through the coolent over
flow
I have all so changed the coolent twice due to the fact it gets nasty as hell
to me it looks like rust little small flakes
and now that it is hot down here im constanly having to add to the coolent at least every two weeks its a daily driver

the car runs great no missing no smoke,spitting or poping even at wot smoooooth
and stupid fast 15psi of boost


thanks for the info on the head gasket everyone

Blown head gasket. I went 11.56 on 20 pounds of boost with a popped gasket. I was happy with it being 88 dgrees and 100% humid. Have you checked your oil though. If yuo have run it that long and the oild is contaminated, I hate to say it but you will probably have to pull the engine. You will have to look at all hte bearings and all bearing surfaces. I use the cometics myself but am trying a different approach. If it works I will let you know. The steel shims are good to.

glad you brought up the oil getting dirty the engine has maby 5000 miles on it with frequent oil changes
it takes about a week and the oil is black I was told by a local to get a evac system and pull a vac on the block (not installed yet)
so I have the evac system BUT it works from the exaust and I have read a thread from this site and its says there isnt enough exaust to make it work that is hard to belive when your pushing at least a 1000 cfm through the intake this has been the case from day one dirty oil a week after a oil change blowing oil out of the breather stacks

but the car runs great no missing poping no knock @ 15psi w/95 oct fuel

its a little rich on gas but i think that is from the chip
