Well, I went in to adjust AFR's on my D16a6 today and blew my headgasket on the dyno. White smoke everywhere. Damn exhaust system had most of my coolant in it. What does this mean
More MONEY to be spent.

How much timing were you running? what was your base?
You may want to consider using the Z6 headgasket as a replacement headgasket. Its the strongest D-series gasket in stock form, tripple layer metal, and fits perfectly on A6's
