HeadGasket ideas???(under Boost)
What im looking for is a head gasket that will stand together under boosted conditions. I just did a head gasket like a month ago and now i just got my turbo kit complete and it's leaking after about 2 days what i have is a d16z6 with a cast iron manifold,t3/t4 .50trim at 7psi or .5bar> Ive heard of people copper coating their headgaskets anyone used this before?
I bought ARP head bolts hoping i can tourqe it down a bit more so it will hold together better. Any ideas let me know. I understand about going to a cometic.Im oing to warranty exchange my headgasket. this motor will only be in it for about another month or so. I don't really wanna spend 90$ for a month of use. i have a decent trip coming up to a meet in des moines and don't really want to run into problems on the side of the interstate. Thanks...

are you using OEM headgasket? that will hold just about everything you can throw at it.
you shouldnt be going through headgaskets like that. I think you have a bigger problem like like warped head or uneven block.
what are you tq your arps down too? most usually do 65 lbs

Have you overheated the thing lately? Could warped the deck surface causing blown gaskets.
Go with either an OEM Y8 HG or a Fel-Pro. I'm not a fan of the copper spray...
