I am running a D16Z6 with an O ringed block and copper head gasket, Block guard, forged pistons & rods ect... and my copper head gaskets keep blowing does anyone else have this problem and what do they do to fix it? I dont want to keep spending $50 every time it blows I know its because it gets too hot and ive read that the block guard gets it hot because the restriction of the coolant. what should i do?

 

i dont think ive seen anyone ever run an o-ringed d series.

are you using ARP's?

whats your timing curve like? might want to kick it back a couple degrees.

 

im not exactly sure I didnt build it I had it built and the half aseed mechanic said that was a good setup for boost I know when i was running boost it was retarted but he has worked on it since yes i have arp head studs

 

id re evaluate your tuning

 

word. also sounds like your half assed mechanic did a half assed block guard install. probably why it overheats.
