temp guage is running at 90 degs and goes to 100 when using harder then it just spikes and shoots up to 110 and the water is out.

Was a recent short engine i bought that had had no problems put a straight edge on it looked fine so didnt bother skimming block

Using standard head bolts from matt lewis says there fine for up to 400 bhp

Car fine no overheating on tick over you can drive it reasonable hard its ok its jsut whn you go for 5mins or more hard on the turbo and it does it like on a track day once its spits its water out it has done a head gasket. So fit new gasket drive it hard for about 3 miles and its blown a head gasket and all water is out. I drove it all the way to ford fair no problems over 100 miles didnt want to break it on the way there and miss it.

Its only the small bore pipes blowing off all the silicone boost hoses are jubileed on

Cheers

Ian
