Default It finally blew only took 18pounds

Finally i blew my stock LS, took 18 pounds of boost and a blown head gasket. It would have still been alive if it didnt try and compress the water.

prolly the ringlands are gone on that one cylinder. There is no scoring of the cylinderwalls on the other pistons so im saying the ringlands are prolly good on them. ill find out when i strip it to bare block to get my 20 bucks of alluminum from the scrape yard
