First off Happy New Year to all.
I've had an awfull time of late with my 80 series. (1994 1hz)
First off got a ct26 turbo & huge intercooler fitted. 3" red devil exhaust & egt fitted. Very happy with set up. 48 hours later a 91 year old drove into it. Three weeks in crash repair & shes back looking like new. Four days later the head or head gasket has gone!!!
Egt temps were completely normal. I managed to catch it before it over heated thanks to a watch dog. I'm thinking the very well known 4wd shop has set up the system wrong. Overfueling.
I have had a compression test done prior to turbo fitting & all was good. Also have a boost compensater fitted.
My question is, do i bother getting a refurbished head or take the opportunity to fit a new one? Also once back together, take it somewhere else in Adelaide to be set up properly.
Thanks
Been there done that. Then, been there several more times, because apparently I never learn.
