Oh yeah? Who paid for it.

To be honest, his is way more fun then mine right now...

 

[crownaviation]

I have a new customer who is running......................wait for it.......................35lb of boost on stock gaskets! WTF?!?!?! That's amazing!

I'm thinking you will be good with those.

I would be happy with 30psi but the ups jackasses are taking forever to deliver my manifold...

Anyway, Billy did you heat cycle those gaskets then re torque? That is a must using those gaskets. Sorry to hear bro.

I am thinking of Dee modding mine and buying a newer c6 zo6. Constant waiting and delay after delay yadda yadda has sucked the passion out of it again. I go thru this about every ten years and nothing ever changes.

My motor is ready btw. Prepped block, 10.5 diamond custom pistons from l&m, l&m custom cams, fox lake cnc'd ported heads with all the bells and whistles, Manley I beam rods, kellogg crank and tons of other shit all new. No expense spared.. best of what money can buy

First off, stop with that bowtie blasphemy. And yes, they where torqued after 3 heat cycles. Sucks to pull the Procharger to do it and not see any more movement.

Damn. Yeah I figured you knew about that. Really sucks to hear bro. There's a guy in Dallas with a block I could probably get in touch with him if you need.

And the z is the only chebby I would ever drive

Send me his info just in case. And yes, I understand, I work for a guy with an 08' Z06 with heads, cams , and a ported intake. It is nasty for what it is. With a Procharger, well Im just sayin...

I will pm you his info. Spun rod bearing. Probably get block cheap. He built another motor for it.

Yeah, I am looking at keeping my car just maybe toning it down to a simple 450ish and daily driver. Cam, and some nitrous and the z06 would be all I wanted.. but I say that about everything lol. Before you know it there goes another $100k

When I lost a Fel Pro gasket, I replaced them with Cometic gaskets, 16:1 motor with 200 shot of nitrous and they never failed.

Yep! Blows boost right to the coolant tank.

Damn man, I just don't know what to say. I would be on suicide watch right now.

I have the original block from my '07. Dropped a valve due to broken comp spring. Had about 48k and the cylinder with the dropped valve is not too bad. The scoring does not catch a nail. It's in my garage in Sachse, north of Dallas. I's even throw in the heads to get it out of my garage. Driver's side is fine but he passenger side would need some work where the valve dropped.

[PNR Welding]

Copper head gaskets here for 3 years and my car hits the track almost every weekend. I did have a issue 1 year later after install and that was cause my fan stopped working and overheated the motor. I made passes without fan on and I got coolant in back cylinders. It got really hot. I reringed and kept same orings in and no issues for last 2 years. On old turbo I seen 24psi many times. I wonder if your leaking past the oring where the two points meet together?
I 45* the stainless wire on each end when put together. How tight did the stainless wire go in to the grove on your block? I followed instructions to a Tee on iskys site and used 4blades total when cutting them in the block. When I worked at the machine shop we did a lot of blocks with copper and orings and never seen an issue.
Your the first failure I heard about.

 

[PNR Welding]

Also the depth of the oring is critical. The issue your having could be a result from that.

I asked my old boss before and he told me that you could still use the block that was cut with multi layer gaskets.

Only reason I oring my motor is cause I worked at a machine shop and I did a lot of them with my supervisor.

 

[travelers]

I thought you could tag weld the block.

Im not saying it is a bad setup, just that I "fixed" something that was not broke and I am paying for it now. I would bet it was something to do with my work in that area and not the gasket its self. The tale will be told when I tear it down. As always I will post pics of the damage and you guys can see for yourselves. The fact that there was an exhaust leak sound after the motor was up to temp that I could not find should make more sense once it is opened up.

I don't want to chance it when there are cylinders that will need sleeved also. At some point it is easier just to start with a fresh block.

Strange brakes

Also thinking about loosing the power brakes and going manual, the Strange drag brakes are VERY sensitive with the stock master cylinder and the power brake booster. Here is what I am thinking.
