Guessing Its Head Off Time

Recommended Posts

If anyones seen my thread in aftermarket wiring they will know my engines very much trial and error and un mapped. Anyway been having issues with it making a popping noise, kind of a random internal type noise that resonates out of exhaust. I was hoping it was down to fueling but its not. So I done a compression test, this is after less than 2 minutes running so engine pretty much cold, WOT and reading O/S to N/S

150/122/145/151 also noted after these couple of minutes running the coolant looked frothy and level ad risen slightly :lol: , Im now assuming that pot 3 is blowing out slightly to the coolant chamber B)

 

So heres why its in upgrades section and not technical. Its currently using 2 x 1.4mm head gaskets as the pistons fouled the head slightly on one gasket (not run, just carefully torquing head). Ideally I need a 2mm head gasket. Does anyone know of one that will fit? I know many XUD gaskets come in various thicknesses but unsure if they are the correct bore and the waterways line up etc. My engine spec is in my sig. I ideally want the pistons machined flush to block but just cannot afford it, unless someone wants to do it cheap/free :)
