Who has done it with a 24 valve?<br><br>Why did you do it?<br><br># of Boost You Are Running?

 

My ETH was o-ringed last summer, because the deal was right and I felt it's a cheap insurance policy against a blown head gasket. My ffirst head gasket went almost 2 years ago and had me concerned ever since.<br><br>Boost isn't the only thing to be looking at. Drugs, timing, compression, and the various combinations of the four have to be considered. The simple use of propane and a timing box will almost assure a blown head gasket on an ETH.

 

Piers did the O-ring job on my head.....<br><br>Now as for why? I blew mine setting up N02. Currently I see in excess of 60psi when using drugs, without the drugs I run around 52-54psi.<br><br>Doug<br>

 

what about prices? how much green are we looking at?<br>DM01

 

2-$300 not including head R&amp;R and head gasket.

 

R&amp;R whats that?<br>DM01

 

removal &amp; reinstallation.

 

Ok ... time for explanation. What kind of &quot;drugs&quot; are we talking about and how does this apply ? Is there a common issue with head gaskets ?<br><br>PISTOL

 

i think drugs is like propane or nitrous
