ok here goes..

yesterday i had the car in bits as i bought a .48 exhaust housing for my turbo and decided to fit it..

today at 10.00am i went to fill the car up with fuel.. put £20 in and thought id take it for a run..

took it on the motorway for a junction,, when i hit 110mph, water went all over my windscreen and the car didnt sound right..
when i came off at the next junction and slowed down the car sounded like a Subaru Impreza engine sound!!!!

so i knew it was miss firing!!!

while the engine was running i pulled a plug lead out at a time to see which piston wasnt running, and found that cylinder 2 was dead!! then there was only 1/2 of life in cylinder 3!!!!!

then as i got closer to home the car began to smoke its arse off and pressurize!! when i took the water cap off it smelt like petrol. so i shit my self..lol..

took off my cylinder head to inspect that area to find this!!!




my head gasket had melted!!!!

DONT EVER USE FELPRO GASKETS AS THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS!!!!

gave my head a good clean up and the stainless valves are untouched Surprised)




found a little pitting in the head where cylinder 2 is, and looks like a little detonation!!

The pistons are untouched tho..



so now at 11.17am im waiting for the GENUINE FORD head gasket and bolts to come then it will be back on by tonight!!
