So i blew my head gasket on Friday night which was only a month old. I have been told that it was because i didn't pull the valve cover off after 250 miles but not sure how true that is. Then another friend told me that that's not necessary. Have also been told that it was because I was running to much boost. I just want to get to the bottom of this so i don't have to pull my head for a 3rd time a month from now.
I am running a big 16g turbo and was running about 18 lbs of boost. Was told by a buddy that I would be perfectly fine running that but then was told by another buddy that it was too much boost for stock head studs. I'm confused on what is actually the case but I am posting a pic of the head gasket itself but I'm not sure if it will really help much. The pics are of both sides of the head gasket.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and any info will be helpful.
