So I was racing this boosted eg tonight from 40-120 and once I got off the highway I noticed my car didnt sound quite right. Ive got a stock b16a2 running 8 psi on a 18g. There wasnt any skoke coming from the motor and I dont think there was any excess smoke coming out of the exhaust (it was night so I couldnt tell) but the motor sounds like a wrx kinda gurgly and stuff. Im pretty sure the headgasket is blown but I dont know how to tell if there is any further internal damage. There is a little bit of oil that looks like it got sprayed on the fuel rail and surrounding areas. Im assuming I just got some head lift and blew the gasket since I dont have aftermarket headstuds or anything, all stock. Thats about all the info I can think of to give you guys right now. Any ideas what might have gone wrong?

You're probably using the wrong rope.


And lay off the skoke, that skeet/coke mix is making you see things.

So chances are I didnt get lucky and just blow the headgasket? Is there any way to be a little more sure without tearing into the block?

compression check

Will I still get good #'s if just the gasket is blown?

Looks like I just might be building a block sooner than I thought!
