so i just got my setup done today. ran great didnt boost it to much and only let it hit around 5psi then let off didnt take it over 4000rpm. on my way home i noticed a cloud of white smoke. and think ***** its blown. then i look and the temp gauage shot right to hot.


blown headgasket? lemme know what you think.

 

yes
sorry

 

yup i knew it. anything to prevent this in the future? maybe why it blew?

 

one of my buddies told me it might be my intake manifold gasket? would this also cause it to over heat?

 

no its classic case of headgasket blown
probably due to headlift or warping
to be foolproof get arp headstuds and and oem headgasket
if you have the loot, get the head/block decked
probably not neccesary

 

after a temp redline its a very very very good idea to get the head checked, the heat warps it

 

whats the chances i cracked a sleeve?

 

low

 

i was told it might be cracked sleeve bc it smokes on start up

 

smoking on start up its still a very high possability its a hg, arp studs FTW, i got those there a bitch to get the head on by your self (and if you dont take the intake manifold off) i recomend you spend 150 for studs 60-100 for oem gasket and when your puttin the studs back on, check the head and deck, then get a couple buddies help you get that head back on
