Right guys done a sniff test and it's the head gasket, the engine has recently had a rebuild new rings shells the head was skimmed and pressure tested and the block was skimmed, I don't know what gaskets they used, I have ordered a genuine ford head gasket now and stretch bolts and a top end gasket set, the engine had only done 600 miles. This was the first time I gave it full boost and it done the head gasket. Could it be a crap head gasket fitted or a pattern one caused it to go?
