Blew the head gasket:(

253k miles, 433hp, 950ftlbs, I guess it was about time....

Funny thing is I didnt notice until I got home and oil was spewing thru the once small leak in the radiator, popped the cap and the it looks like the Exxon valdez oil spill in there

But I didnt actually loose much oil(according to the dipstick, the driveway and radiator show otherwise though )

Looks like im trying a marine gasket and studs, dont have the time/money right now to Oring it(yes I know, do it while your replacing the head gasket anyway, but I have 0 time with work...

Sorry to hear that, but like you said it was about time. Yours made it alot longer than mine did. It only lasted two weeks after bumping the timing, but what can you expect when you do that. Good luck on getting her fixed....*****

mine went as well but with only 86,000 miles and 16* of timing. im prolly gonna go the stud/marine route. hopefully it'll hold 20* timing and a b1/htt variation or towing twins cuz those are my plans.
