has anybody in the boost assisted field come across a GOOD warrantied? head gasket? i've blown #2 today and have only had the car on the road since december. (and no, it's not cuz of a warped head/block... i run around town at 15psi ).

the first one i blew was the OE 1988 ford gasket (it was about time i guess). this one was a felpro standard 2.3 gasket i got at advanced auto. i've thought about going with a copper gasket but 1) not too sure the benefits of that vs a standard gasket 2) not EXACTLY in my price range for 1 gasket lol.

any reliable input is appreciated.

thanx.

Dont know if you still go to turboford all the time but a few people ahve went to ... cortec something like that and got the "white" head gasket... its cheap too.. IF you can find it...


And I hope you remember the trouble everyone was having with the 1035 and head studs... so I wouldnt take that route

 

not as frequent on turbo ford as i was... but i'll go ask around. jus wanted to kno if these import guys had something other than the ford guys kno about.

thanx

 

Nothing that's cheap. Metal headgaskets tend to be expensive
