So I'm really trying to figure out what happened here I wasn't data-logging at the time was on the interstate doing about 70 down shifted into third to keep up with some guys that were speeding up at about 2627 PSI it kind of felt like my water injection kicked in and bought the engine for a second.
At that point I let out when to get back into it and noticed temperatures rising and steam from the hood so I flashed the people I was with to pull over went to the side of the road and had an exploded coolant line.
End up Towing the car home pulling it apart and here's what I found the pledge strap was missing also it's porcelain on the inside was missing one thing I've noticed between this failure and my last head gasket failure is both cylinders 2 & 3 had their combustion or fire Rings whatever they're called stretched is this from the head softening as I've heard people say they do or maybe just being warped I don't have a quality straight edge at the moment.
Timing comes in low about 12 degrees and Peak torque 30 PSI rising to about 17 at 8000 RPM the motor is 921 Wiseco 1400 series Pistons Eagle h-beam rods Crower valve train 264 272 cams running on E85 RC engineering 1600 CC injectors and right now only one walbro 255 pump rewired.
Any advice on who thinks what went wrong first is what I'm really looking for and also information on why my cylinders 2 & 3 are stretching the fire Rings the way they are I have a J&S stand-alone knock sensing system and it's been picking up no traces of knock whatsoever even though it is functioning correctly when tested.
The one thing I can say right now is that I do not have an intercooler because the one from my 2G setup will not fit on the 1G car so I'm spraying pure methanol pre turbo to cool the iat's opinions facts speculation it's all welcome let's discuss
