Default N20 on leaking head gasket...

I am almost done installing my new wet kit, 75 shot, on a stock eclipse gs. I have a leaking head gasket and am wondering if its going to cause any problems when i spray. if so i will replace the head gasket, i am only planning on keeping this car a few more weeks and maybe spraying once or twice, so if its not that big of a problem please let me know.

well nitrous wouldn't fix your problem but that's a give in...
But sometimes something small can turn to something big especially with nitrous or any FI for that matter

i sprayed on my integra and blew my HG so... i would say fix it

most of the time on that 420a motor the headgasket only leaks oil down the back of the block. spraying wont be a problem as long as the headgasket isnt blown. just remember to back your timing off somehow.

Nitrous will find any weak point in your motor and exploit it. The key things to upgrade when running large shots of nitrous are the head gasket and rods. Don't come bitching if you need a new head gasket in a month.

yeah, any forced induction isnt good if you already know you have a problem (rings,rods,head gasket). id replace it before you blow it.
