[s-cars] Engine completey hosed

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

 Holy smokes... that guy's is WAY worse than mine.? Mine is a very small "line" between 4 and 5.? I'd like to see his pistons, and I'd like to know why it happened at all.? The headgasket doesn't bother me... it's what happened to the pistons that makes me scratch my head.

FWIW... it was an all metal headgasket, and I did use ARP studs.

The problem could be a metal/paper headgasket (instead of the later all metal gasket) or


it could be stretched OE head bolts (I sure Hap will chime in on that note).? High boost


engines probably need an all metal head gasket and ARP head studs and nuts.

But that is just an opinion.
