as above twice

but.......... will do the power reliably and for a long period!

i ran greys/turbosystems chip, T35.48 on 34psi held on a completley standard car that i bought with a second hand (2inch restricted backbox type) old skool scorpion system for more than 2yrs of constant flat out abuse with no problems whatsoever!
The same bottom end was then used with a ported head, P8/ALS Siemens 1000cc injectors, T04Z/ext gate and 32psi again with no problems at all.

i decided to take the head off and use a cometic headgasket "just incase"
this resulted in a week of problems with mixing oil/water.
changed gasket and had everythng checked and used gpA type gasket from Woodfords, again all fine.

2 wks later temp rising problems, head off again.........
gasket failed!

replaced with supposed better cometic non fail/non dodgy batch gasket.

YAAAAY!............

erm no.

same day out had massive failure flat out in 4th which took the block on no.3, cracked from top to bottom in spectacular fashion!
this also fucked the crank as it mixed oil and water, the main ends were fucking purple!

anyway, my standard engine was perfect untill it was opened up, this made me well angry with myself!

never mind eh
