I plan on using the same. Its basically an oem gasket bored out to whatever your block is.

 

Coo....Im m sold, goin OEM as well... ordering it tommorow... Already got the copper spray. Waiting for my ARPs.

Weird note...

Turned my boost back up to 10 psi today (5 is REALLY boring), and although i havent realllllllyyyy beat on it alot, i have had my foot in it pretty well a few times and no spew.... hmmmmmm ANYWAY, i want to run like 14 psi on the weekends so the arps are a must... gotta get re tuned with the recently aquired 3 bar and the new boost level. Think ima redo my DP as well. Its a bit beat up (ground clearance) a bit more restrictive im sure... gonna oval out some 3" to get under the pan to get to the 3" exhuast from the 2.5" DP from the turbo flange, none of it will be worth it if the ****** pisses coolant out all the time though... hope it aint ther sleeves (cracked or some ****). Im planning on starting a motor build in the next couple months though so all you guys with sleeved blocks: Im really interested what is going on, it seems everybody already has the ARPS which im hoping will solve my problem, interested in finding out whats goin on with you guys as well as how MUCH boost you are running....

Thanks.

 

The 1st step in solving a disappearing coolant problem is a pressure check...I'm betting no one has done this? (At least I didnt read about anyone who said they did)

 

There are simple test kits that you can test the coolant for combustion gases.If its a head gasket this test will show it.Auto parts stores sell it.

i have a 81mm darton sleeved erl block with je pistons.i had that same problem for 3300 miles.no signs of coolent any where,it even passed a coolent system test..i had a cometic head gasket.changed it out to an oem with copper spray and the problem is gone..the motor never got hotter then it should have been...i did how ever find the milky white stuff in the lines to the catch can and nowhere else....Copper spray the new gasket.

 

ahhhhh...the hydrocab anlyzer deal...no i havent tried that yet... hmmmmmm oh well im a do the gasket anyway since i have to put the ARPS in. maybe ill check for the hell of it, ill let ya know what i find in my case.
