Guess I found the limit of the stock head bolts. This came at the worst possable time. I should have gone with studs from the start, but I was worried about the studs distorting the cylinders. Why this week, it only need to hold one more week. Going to get to work pulling the heads.

 

oooh that sucks man! I hope you can get it off....and on again in time!

 

sooo what happened?? lifted the heads?

 

Sorry to hear that bro!
Wish you were closer, id lend a hand!

How much boost were you running?

 

damn that sucks. hope you get things patched up quickly.

 

I guess, figured the a piston would let go before the heads lifted. I have a money race this weekend, and it just figures something like this would happen. Just goes to show you can only get away with so much for so long. I just hope once I fix, it a piston doesn't let go the first time I drive it. Trying to figure out how to drain the coolant without flooding my garage floor. Tried to get one of those kid pools but they arn't out yet. Thanks for the sympathy guys.

 

all my built motors are on studs, the sub is still on stock bolts, no need to lift the heads.

try to find a big pan and possibly tie up a tarp under the truck over the garage floor, let it spill into the tarp and guide it into something big. Plan on at least 2-3 gallons.

 

16psi on regular bases is bad for stock head bolts.
Did you get the ram air box pics last night.?

 

 

That sucks dude! I have a small turtle sand box you can use if you want to come pick it up. Are the piston still OK?
