Actually I think it has been a progressive thing that finally let go.<br>I noticed last week that my boost was lower and staying at 45 max as opposed to 50.<br>On Saturday during a run on 5/5 I was only able to get 41 and then there was a small puddle of oil which I traced to the oil return line from the turbo and the clamp was very loose so I concluded that was the problem. Cleaned off the engine and there was no more drip. Then, today it was dry and then after a short 10-15 mph 3 or 4 block run...oil on the ground and the engine was at operating temp. :'(<br><br>No [censored] was involved. Its puking it out so it not gonna get started til its fixed now.<br><br>Its time for porting and o-ringing and the Don M head gasket.<br><br> ;D

Scotty:<br><br>Sorry to hear about your truck!! <br><br>I went through it in January so I definitely know <br>how you feel! I was racing a Ford PSD when mine<br>blew and I immediately smelled antifreeze and oil!<br>It was squirting out right under the #1 cylinder<br>and #3 was getting ready to blow too! It &quot;sealed<br>up&quot; enough for me to &quot;limp it&quot; up to Scheid Diesel<br>and they fixed it for me. <br><br>Anyway, good luck on your repairs. I highly <br>recommend the &quot;ARP Case Hardened Studs&quot;<br>Scotty!<br><br>--------<br>John_P<br>

The head gasket was gone in 3 places. &gt;<br><br><br>Two were coolant leaks at 3 and 5 and oil out the front at #1.<br><br>Should be testing it out on Weds. <br>
