head gasket
hey everyone i have a d16y1 turbo setup
i was hoping i could get some info please first of all what is a better than a oem 3 layer copper coated head gasket... i've been told that a stainless steel gasket should do the job,,,,,if any one can help where i can find this gasket???? and if anyone knows anything about them ( by the way i blew the head on the dyno 121.4kw at 5.5 pound )...not much for a fully worked motor...
much appreciated for knowledge...

Are you sure its failed simply because "it was not good enough?" or other reasons like: head studs not holding the head down, bad tune - detonation etc?
I used a cometic MLS head gasket in my turbo B18C2 but only because of my larger bore size. Else i would have used OEM, they have proven to hold up just fine under boost. You can buy cometic ones from rocket industries.

adrian done the tune he said that the piston was pushing air back to the cooling system???

hope you bought it at a bargain of a price.
i'm using a OEM one on my b18c2 turbo, and it's absolutely fine.
running 12psi and 18psi.

lol got boost? hope that motor is built :p
-
the motor is built apparently there was a problem with the block
i did get the motor for a cheap price but then again not cheap enough for the damages i have to repair now.....and also my aim was to show that d series are still capable of pulling big number (under-dog)

never leaked water into the oil????but it was lyk there was a pressure build up from the motor into the cooling system
