Blowed Head Gasket, Quality Solution?
We just blowed a head gasket after having our pump tweaked out on my dads truck. We are building this truck up as a puller, but still a daily work truck. The truck has the potential of becoming a serious puller and will attended many pulls in the area. Looking for a head gasket solution that we can do ourselves to assure this doesn't happen again. Don't know how radical we'll get, but would like to see 500+ on a dyno with it someday!

What boost levels will O-ringing and copper gasket hold? Local turbo shop is building us a "Pulling" turbo that is supposed to handle 60-65 boost with proper fueling. Will O-ringing hold this? copper?

What other alternatives do I have. Is Fire Ring an option or overkill? Does a shop have to be setup to do it? Would like something that can be done with just the head off?

Thanks a million, pulling head tonight. And pulling pump again to go back in to add ....MORE FUEL!!

Ya'll outta heard the HX35/14 singing. Who said they won't build 50 lbs?
