Blown Head Gasket repair w/pics

Nope haven't hit fuel cut yet because I'm only running 7psi. Too scared to up the boost....yet.

Today it is kinda brisk out, around 40 degrees (past 2 days were like 65), so I took it for a long half hour drive. It drives like a dream (I did replace every single fluid in this car, trans, diff, coolant, oil, PS) Never got higher than 195F today and thats under full boost (7psi lol) and it really stayed below 190 most of the time, so I know ambient temp definately has something to do with my coolant temp. So I'm pretty much convinced its ok, for now. Like you said Dan, the paranoia will never fully go away, only gets lesser.

My super monitor reset to 0.0 because I had the battery disconnected for 3 months and has been working its way up. I drove it 20 miles so far and its up to 13.4mpg and will continue to go up the more I drive it. It was 18.7 before I started this thread (with a BHG). Which is pretty damn good for having a BHG.
