Its a sad sad day

F8L GT · March 31st, 2010, 11:36 PM

F8L finally blew a header gasket. At first I thought I had a plug backing out but it turns out its a header gasket. Isnt to bad considering all I was running for gaskets were the paper ones that came with the headers. Looks like its time to upgrade

2002 BLK GT · March 31st, 2010, 11:46 PM

Shit happens bro, upgrade

RyanGT · March 31st, 2010, 11:47 PM

That sucks!

F8L GT · March 31st, 2010, 11:54 PM

I still have to dig into a little deeper. Im at work and thats when I noticed it. I'll check it more tomorrow, maybe I will be lucky and a bolt just backed out a little

mrsinister2424 · March 31st, 2010, 11:54 PM

Blech, I hate that fucking install.

Lmao, that's when you can tell how bad that install is. When you hope a spark plug blows the fuck out of your heads.

If it blew out then it would just give me a reason to get TFS heads lol. Actually I hope it doesnt blow out, just loosen lol. If it blew out then that means I would still have to deal with the headers lol

That sucks man hope it's just a loose bolt like you said! I know it's a dumb question but how do ya'll quote things like that?

Dolbs4082 · April 1st, 2010, 10:57 AM

to quote you just click the little "quote" button on the bottom right corner of each post. then it pops up in a different screen that you can write under the quote. fairly simple to do.

M.P. Cobra Fan · April 1st, 2010, 11:02 AM

I read this and what I saw was "blown head gasket". I almost cried for you.

F8L GT · April 1st, 2010, 12:19 PM

just went out and moved stuff around in the engine bay to feel/hear better, its the number two cylinder thats making the noise. It is indeed the header gasket. Good thing I took next week of work

DUDE! ME TOO!

I read at first and was like oh fuck, that sucks. For some reason I saw head instead of header

zigbigadoru · April 1st, 2010, 01:01 PM

i actually read what he said

thank god it is "only" the header gasket tho and maybe you can COAX that spark plug to blow out or loosen

hehe TFS FTMFGDW

I think you're talking about the multiquote thing. There's a little callout with a minus sign in it, it's right next to the button that says quote. For every post that you want to quote, click the minus sign and it turns it to a red plus sign. Then for the last one you want to quote, just click the regular quote button and all the stuff will be laid out on the screen that pops up. Just type in what you want between each quoted phrase and post at normal
