TTA heads just can't take the power

[TT/Ameasap]

I need to look more closely, but I'm almost certain I blew my cometics. Just driving around and smoke everywhere for no good reason. Coming from both sides where the block and head meet. No mixture in oil or coolant. And no smoke out tail pipe. Car runs and boosts fine, but it's not right with the way it's smoking. Almost like oil shooting out between the gasket on both sides.
IF I'm right, I'm going with GN heads or S2 heads and doing this right. I should go low 9's with either.

There's no pressurized oil in the heads so if you're getting oil out of them something else is causing it.

Well, I was thinking the same thing. I may have an intake leak that is spraying oil and seeping down to the gasket area. I still have to check it over tomorrow. Maybe put some dye in the oil and see. I'm just frustrated now.

Coolant on plug #3
Must be tweaked.
Gonna pull the heads and find out exactly whats going on.

That's not good news. Hope it isn't hurt too bad.

No coolant in oil, so it's all good. Gonna try the bullet proof gaskets. Got too much going on to fab all the stuff for the GN parts right now.

My motors back in my shop. I'll have it in Saturday. If you need some help wrenching maybe I can run over Sunday.

I may take you up on that Brett. I'll have to see what's going on this weekend. We get the farm Thursday.

I have a set of S2 heads if interested

Whats to FAB other then HALF the Down pipe .. don't complicate it

Now that would take a BOAT load of fab work to get to fit in a TTA .. and without a S2 bottom end .. what would be the point

 

[dank GN]

Yes it would I just saw he said he wanted to go that route .

10's on TTA heads is one of those things... sooner than latter you'll be doing gaskets..

Funny thing I run cheap graphites and make twice as much power on the Ford.. same XFI I had on the TTA, same tuning strategy.. there is just a lot of back pressure on those motors. Cant tell you how many Cometics I went through, the simple answer was tune in down.. and it was happy. Doesnt help if on the stock computer.

Good luck..
