So guess what? Three gas tanks and i have a blown head gasket. I had everything how i wanted it and then, white smoke and low coolant. fml...

anywaysss...

what is everyone using on their head bolt torque? Ive got ARP bolts, and torqued them to 95 ft/lbs. I did it in the correct sequence, and then re-torqued them at 500 miles before my break in oil change.

i dont understand why it went, i drive it hard, but come on!

I was about to sell my jeep, and put more money into this. now im not sure what i should sell and thinking that i should get a bike... but i REALLY REALLY dont want to sell my supra!

so any advice to make sure i dont get a BHG again? other than keep the rpm's under 3k? lol

Thanks!
