Don't do any of that.... use standard bolts and Ford/Payen gasket (good for 350bhp+) but take it and get the fueling and timing setup by an experienced tuner and go from there.

Is it still on mfi? I would get it checked over before driving it

First thing that I notice is the fact it's running "serious" boost. If you didn't know mfi has issues suppling fuel for serious boost. Then if it can supply the fuel it's normally a question of how long before it goes out of tune. In your case it wasn't tuned to start with. So expect nothing but failure.

2 gaskets in as many weeks is unheard of. Obviously has been rushed and not done right without having a setup a tune after.

For your piece of mind and pocket your best off fixing it coming over and let me check your setup and tune for FREE before any one starts.

Checked head for twisting n is ok n checked block was ok to!! Av refitted a old fully metal gasket i got off my spare engine n its working fine tho not done the turbo just driving it between 2 n 3000revs!! Seems ok but not gonna risk doing the turbo yet!! Lol

Mostly cardboard n little metal n after the 1st 1went changed my head as previous 1 could of been twisted which may of not helped .. like say running ok tho little lumpy n uneven!! Sum tyms running at 1000rev on idle n sometimes at 800rev on idle so deffo need set up .. tho I only live 5min from graham Goodes if you heard of them!!! Tho will cost ŁŁ

Was reading history n had a 2.0 bottom end fitted 2years ago n may be it was tuned to that n it's never been changed even tho it's now got a standard 1.6 one again!!

Try to learn how to use it before going onto forum, you're making yourself look like an idiot.

smokejedi66

Is ok mate I got my rs for Ł1000 with blown engine and the body's clean with no clagg in it n never been welded and ain't cat c or oat!! The cars worth Ł4000 minimum wen it's running , it's that good n stands me at Ł1400!! Lol so don't think any1can call me an idiot!! But point taken

smokejedi66

And the car is running now and have done some boost with no prob tho not taken it to limit and won't till I get it set up properly!! But seems ok now!! I've learned cheap eBay head gasket sets are no good!!

What do you mean by "done the turbo"?

Dan F

don't think many people would pay 4k for it knowing a bit about its history now or how you seem to drive it

johnboy73

No I wouldn't.i don't think its necessary for you to be called an idiot when you are asking for a bit of guidance!it must be very difficult when you are so perfect!!!!!

I think what the opening poster is referring too, is that he allowed the engine to accelerate so that the turbo produced positive pressure.

"Done some boost" sounds like someone with a crack habit.

RSmark84

Of course you do, Plenty of foreign members on here have a better grasp of the English language than you.

So yes you are making yourself look like an idiot.
