Default A6 paper head gasket? OWNED (pics added)

Well I read somewhere that the A6 used a factory paper style head gasket. I just was street tuning my CRX and stopped to turn up the boost I noticed oil coming from the head. Hmm, I said ---- it. I threw 10.5 psi at it and took a rip. Well that finished it off. I rolled into my driveway and open the hood to find oil streaming from the corners of the head. I opened the oil cap and it damn near blew out of my hand. The pressure coming out was amazing. No smoke coming from the oil fill hole or exhaust though. Oh well looks like Ill through the B18A swap in sooner than later.





On a good note I replaced the speedo cable and its works great :P

hahaha signature material

Sucks about that though, are you going to turbo the b18a when it comes in? And you selling your turbo parts? :P

I already have the B swap. I just need the mounts. I just got new axles for the B sawp last week. I will drive it N/A for a week or 2 just to shake it down and make sure its boost worthy then it gets the boost. The only parts I will be selling from my turbo kit are the manifold and the DP. The rest will work with the B.
