Well in a short story I let a buddy of mine take my car for a ride while I followed, needless to say he beat the hell out of it. After the 7th 1-3rd pull he pulls over and says somthing is wrong the power is gone and oil pressure is down to 15psi at idle, usaully 20psi. so i look at the data log and see the temp at 205ish:ohdamn:. I let it cool a bit and take it home got on it and had 30psi but no power. No boost leaks untill i get up to 18psi then it drops quickly. While running I noticed air bubbles in coolent so i pulled the head and I dont really see much to say the head gasket went. I run a mitsu mls with an oring, anyyone ever have a head lift with a mls and not really see any signs on the head gasket?
