I have been working a ton of hours 80 hrs a week.
No, we did a leak down and found 5 cylinders had 15, 15, 30, 30 and 60% leakdown. It also had a small water leak around the head gasket. We pulled the motor out to address the issues. The water leak was the head gasket. The leak down was the exhaust valves were corroded from the fuel we use. We think it had that much leak down when we made the 8.71,.75,.79 passes.
With Craig and I working so many hours it may take a few more days to get it back together again. Our record setting weather is gone in S. Texas so no point in getting in a hurry now.
We put the o-rings in the ex-ports a long time ago for the nitrous motor. It worked good but still had gasket issues. We do not use any gaskets now. A small dab of high temp silcone to seal it up.
Yes, M. Kirby has some gaskets in stock.
We run a copper head gasket with o-ring and rec-groove has held up well for us. Mike has a new Cometic head gasket that look trick. We are going to try it next.
