How much boost were you running and how old is that head gasket?

Glad to see it's just the headgasket. It could have just been old. Otherwise maybe you just ran a little too lean

As for the pressure, it's either that the water was boiling or it was the exhaust gases seeping into your coolant system due to the blown headgasket.



How did you know the pressure increased?

management is GHETTODYNE; i knew there was a pressure increase when my car started over heating ;it was blowing coolant out of the overflow bottle ;what is funny there was no smoke coming out of my exhaust and the car ran fine;there are no dents in #2 piston there seems to be a bad valve guide on that cylinder
