all depends how the gaskit has gone, if the heads not warped then that wont be the problem, a standard head gaskit is good for 350, a member on here ran a 300bhp escort and used the standard gaskit, no problems.
and your timming wont be the cause of the over heating and the soild water hoses, as if its just over heating then yes but soild pips show that its the head gaskit thats your problem..
