    car keeps eating turbos

    i have no clue. the last time i sent it to precision i was told something went through the exhaust and messed up the turbine wheel. i thought the whole time that the bearing was going bad and causing the wobble. only because i heard the nasty noise of the wheel hitting the housing. its been a...

    what head gasket to run

    the motor is bored .060 over. rjc's bulletproof head gasket says its designed to run with a bore of 3.830 or smaller. im guessing .060 is larger so what's the best head gasket i can run?

    car keeps eating turbos

    thanks for all the advise! i will get the wideband! i think the car was running really rich. there was like black soot covered on everything inside the manifolds and exhaust after only running a short time. would that also cause this? what should i look for to fix that?

    also is it possible to lose prime after changing oil? i changed oil one time after puting my motor back together and ever since ive had a 20-30 #s of oil pressure instead of 60 or 80 like it was before. i thought the guage just took a crap on me. maybe that is my whole problem? i hate...
