Oil backing up in the return line could certainly cause that type of issue. With checking the downpipe, I think it is more important to check it after only a few seconds of idling. If the downpipe gets hot, it will just burn any oil off. If the issue is gone, I would just leave everything alone unti...

i've had some serious rod knock and thrown rods out of the block, but never really taken out a chhunk off of it like that, usually its just a hole here and there. some serious ****, lol i'd say that 21-22 psi spike did it, not only was it more than likely detonating but it was just too much force f...

That thing is amazing for bleeding the coolant.

I have. It simply required cleaning the head and block a lot using a rag, razor blade, and brake parts cleaner. The stock finish is very smooth. I also use two coats of copper spray-a-gasket. I have reused a cometic gasket six times. Then, I bought another one and reused it once. I never had any of ...

I would probably just want to test the normal stuff like compression(leakdown if possible), launch the car a couple of times and ensure that it shifts smoothly. I would probably have him launch the car a few times just in case it breaks. Anything else should be a relatively easy fix and should work ...

Also, try Mace.

IIRC, he used to work at Stage 6 but left. I know he is still around; he was out at Import Face Off in Gainesville.

Cometic head gaskets are typically sold at stock thickness. You remove layers to make them thinner and you can request extra layers to make them thicker. I hope you turn the engine over by hand after a rebuild anyways, right? I think you are detonating a little. Is it possible that you are leaning o...

Try a Cometic. When you do, make sure you prep the head and block very well. I used one Cometic six times and then used the second Cometic twice. I never had the block(s) or the head(s) machined. Spend a little time with a razor blade, some rags, and some brake parts cleaner and clean the heck out o...

I think it just takes some time for the exhaust to heat up and start burning the oil. A good check may be to start the car for a few moments and then disconnect the downpipe. Check and see if there is oil. You may also be able to find some in the charge pipe if oil is also leaking past the compresso...

A pretty good rule of thumb for any mechanical assembly is to put everything back exactly where it originally came from, down to bolts and washers. The only exception would be if you are replacing something, in which case that takes the place of the original component and everything else goes back t...
