Thumbs down Burried boost gauge, blew head gasket

Well I went to the track to race a guy from my work that has a viper. We have been talking allot of smack to each other at work. I know in the back of my mind that he probably was going to win, but I think I could have given him one heck of a go at it.

Well I was doing some solo races and on my second run I got back to the pits and was going to let it cool down and burn up any water meth still in it. Get out and walk around come back to see antifreeze going all over the ground. I didn’t even get to run him once both he and I were disappointed. Oh well it happens for a reason right, well that’s what my mechanic keeps telling me that and I told you so. Well my mechanic asked if I just wanted to replace the gasket or go and get a o-ringed head or go all out and get one that is ported and polished and o-ringed.

I told him I was done messing around and I want him to take everything that was aftermarket off and turn it back to stock. That way I could hold an auction to raise the money to pay him to do the head gasket.

Did anyone believe me??????? don’t worry the B.U.S.T (Blow Up Stomps Truck) is still a go. I told you I will get 600hp and I don’t want to disappoint you guys so the project must go on.

My mechanic was going to call Piers and see about a ported/polished/o-ringed head. I should find out later what the outcome is and what the projected cost might be. Well this is probably going to set back the twin turbo job just until we get it back together. Maybe we can just do it all at once, but we will have to see.

I am stuck driving my girlfriends Honda more crying
