Went racing today. First pass was good at 11.40 @117mph. It was running a bit rich though. Boost was set at 22psi, runnin C-16. So I decided to raise the boost a pound or two. Second pass the car just didn't feel right at about the 1/8 mile, it was bucking a little but no KR on the scanmaster. I did notice the boost fell off alot between the second and third shift. I kept in it and finished the quarter at 11.50 117.50mph. ON the return road I was watching my temp. gauge and it started climbing really fast. I shut the car off to pick up my timeslip and started it to get back to the truck. When I got back to the trailer my temp. was at 285* and climbing. Pulled the dipstick and I got the crappy milkshake. DAMN HEADGASKET.
My question is would this have hurt my turbo???? What would be the best way to flush out the turbo with fresh oil??? I will be taking the engine apart anyway to clean it out and probably replace the bearings. I didn't drive it too far but I know what antifreeze does to the engine bearings.
Actually the oil pan probably has about one or two gallons of antifreeze mixed in with the oil. I was thinkin tomorrow I would drain what ever coolant is left in the system and change oil then run it for a couple of minutes with no antifreeze in it to try and flush out the crap. Then begin the teardown process.
What do you guys think???
