mate change the headgasket, put in a trd metal gasket before you put 20psi through its the weakest link in a stock motor!!

my car blasted a radiator hose off during a drift comp 3 weeks ago so it was time for the new motor i had profesionaly built.Was running 154rwkw @14psi all sweet at qld raceway limiter bashing sweelty till I started it up from cold and its making some killer knocking noise and running on 3 cly pulled it apart found a mashed arias forged piston, some piece of metal made it way in there so new piston time!!!
Anyone thinking of rebuilding a ze DONT unless it breaks I have had so much reliable sucess with a standard unopened engine!!!!

don't tell me that now never had a problem with my unopened motor either...

I agree with you both, don't do it unless it has gone bang(like mine). it was everything else like electrical issues that went wrong first

[ToySprinta]

Just ran 160rwkw at 12psi with a fucked CAS. Coughs and misfires 3500-5500 then runs out to 7500
Getting there.... slowly..... but getting there

what headgasket do i use? Ive got 20 thou oversized forgies and need a decent headgaset to suit.

looking at running 9.0 comp ratio or so, so maybe a gasket in 1mm thickness? Anyone got some ideas?

[ToySprinta]

I'm using 40thou cometic HG, i think is about 1mm.
Cometic gaskets come in 20thou oversize too

i use toyo headgaskets its all in the tune to keep them good, the gze genuine heedgasket is pretty good.

Update on mine:
had no end of problems with the CAS, tried different sensors, rewiring.. you name it, couldn't get a clean signal out of it.
So now im getting a hall effect sensor fitted wher the reluctor setup used to go...
It doesnt end
