shite news 
going so well as well.
maybe its not ignition timing afterall then.
personally its that compression ratio im scared of, but mark is far cleverer than me.

Not running any nitrous, I was helping with changing the inlet, o-rings are a bit of a two man job when you are rushing and im quite used to making them up so was just giving mark a hand, but if you prefer though I can change it to "they" everytime I mention something in the future just so as not to offend you?
Bugger on the headgasket front though.

Yep, that car was rapid, I was surprised at how difficut it was to over-take a bean-tin, so went and had a chat with him after, where I saw that the car had been completely stripped and was told that it weighs just over 700kg (half the weight of my car ). It has the power as well - just look at the times it did at TOTB .

Is the head lifting? what headbolts is it on, I guess ts a 10 bolt WRC job but on mountune stud/nut kit?
Why is it spitting its gasket past peak hp/rpm or is it?
Hope you get to the bottom of it so that you can run it at full beans and timing. Nice to see the block is happy at these levels after the turkish one spat the dummy.
At 14 degrees advance on a big cossie engine there is no risk of burning exhaust valves out in short mileage? What sort of EGTs were you seeing?
Good luck on any revisions and thanks for putting it up.

I think the only way to go is to wire ring it or a copper head gasket
Or both?
Failier is prob due to all those M.A.D torques trying to get out
Remember most high power cos engines will never see this kind of torque
Good luck fellas stick with it

Isn't this the 3rd failure in 3 dyno attempts? Surely they must be thinking about calling it a day. If it can't manage the dyno session it's going to be hard to make it reliable enough to do top speed run's.
Hope you get it sorted and make the race.
