Hello hello! Well well well.... What do we have here. So my constant googling has me leading to my car having a faulty head gasket or its on its way out
Setup:
B18c5
Garrett turbo
Top mount
Type r trans
Nippon pistons
Ported/polished head
Symptoms are: I'm running through oil fast... Not burning it but it gets black very quick... I've noticed some faint black stuff in my coolant and during pulls coolant would shoot out of my reservoir. I thought I had air in the system but after trying for months to bleed it air would constantly come back and I've replaced my radiator cap. I have a set of Ls ARP's already can I use those??! And as far as head gaskets go which do I grab? Cometic? OEM?
I hate when ppl post boring threads so here's the last 2 pulls before we ended it made 381/260 tq
Head is "lifting" there are a few reasons for head lift, #1 is improper clamping, better studs will fix that.
What are you boosting at? 94
it started doing it at 6 psi a little bit.... i got tuned at 10 psi and thats when this really started happening. and thank you for responding! i appreciate it!
If you mean you have b18a/b head studs no they won't work due to two of the studs being longer for the ls cylinder head. OEM head gaskets work amazing.
