going back to btcc rs 500s here...why do you think ford/cosworth desighned a thick wall block????it was for the intention of long studding to with stand high boost pressures...
Im not going to mention names or engines but have seen a nms block cracked and have heard of another(not slating nms here)believe me it will happen especialy over 500 bhp!when the heads not clamped it will move around and on std head bolts sooner or later something will give...
the egt temp doesnt prove anything other than its fucking hot!!iv seen temps like that on a 300 bhp motor..
how many miles did/has your motor done at 2.2 bar??
