Default Dont make my mistake.

Of all the stupid things to loose a headgasket to, the screw fell out of my boost controller

LOCTITE that ----

sure was fun till the top of second gear.

First time of many times im sure my master plan will save me -

Built motor with cheap graphite headgasket. good to 15 pounds well tuned and comes with the ease of mind of knowning if something goes its gona be the cheap gasket not the block. weak link method for those who want to push it but cant afford to loose a motor.

heh now i keep a backup gasket so i can have it back less than 4 hours after i blow it. this time took 23 hours only cuz i waited on the gasket.

Do you mean the adjustment screw? Your adjustment screw doesn't have a lock nut?
