ok, I KNOW its not a great Idea to dyno with a leaky HG. here's the thing my compression is over 210 across the board and the HG seems to leak intermittantly.

I only get bubbling in the overflow under HARD driving. will the leaky HG severely afffect my dyno performance and tuning.

I am working a car show this weekend and only have sunday to put on a new HG maybe.

do you think i can get away with torqing down the head studs 5lbs more?

mind you I have already rescheduled once already.

I only made 188WHP cuz i didnt realize my plug gaps were too big and my O2 was Bunk (universal bosch )

BTW check your plug gaps cuz they DO change a bit over time

 

If you have the HG, I say change it. The slow leak may turn into a larger leak causing you to damage your engine. Besides, it only takes a couple hours if you've done it before.

 

ive never done a DOHC motor.

 

i say if you dont have a hg then buy one and change it you would just be wasteing your money going to the dyno. the head gasket will effect your power and performance , you will have to replace it anyways

 

how do u know its a hg? maybe its just ur rad cap???

 

i never though of that....hmmm...

 

did u do a leakdown test?

and im glad u posted stock steering in ur mod's list

you welcome, now go hit a tree. you can have a nice "MOMO" imprinted on your forehead to impress the ricers

 

Go out and purchase a new one or if you have one replace it.your spending money on a dyno session why do it with a leaky HG doesn't make sense.
