Headgasket?

So lastnight i race a kid in a riced out integra down the freeway, about five minute's later the temp gauge start's bouncing around. I pull over to check it out and radiator is cold to the touch, well i pull the cap off and oil residue run's out with the coolant. Also coolant in the oil, hoping it's just a headgasket and not a cracked head. I'm going to pull it apart this weekend and go from there, let me know if anyone has any other thought's about it and maybe the best fix for it.

Thanks, Justin

Sounds like you had to much fun for CTD to appreciate. While down, improve reliability by O rings and studs.

I'm looking at doing stud's and a good gasket at least, what are the gasket option's and power limit's without O ringing? Or would it be dumb to not do it while it's apart?

I appreciate any help, Thank's

I have been thinking about doing this for a while and actually have been limiting boost and full fuel because I don't want to have to clean up the mess! I have read and talked to a lot of people about this and I am going with Orings and new bolts. If done right you can boost the heck out of her and never worry about anything! Are you going to be going to a twin set in the future??
