Can;t do vids unless Rich or Chris are about :I but i will make sure there is a full action movie before he leaves
It seems we ended up with composite gaskets by mistake [xx(] the new ones are multi layer sprung stainless with a viton coating, rated to handle 10 psi of boost

Well the good news is the block is ok.
The same can't be said for a couple of pistons [xx(] It seems the blower has been fitted with an uprated pulley and is giving us excessive boost, which was giving over 15:1 compression ratio [:0] so hardly surprising it was blowing head gaskets. Coupled with a blocked jet in the w/m injection system all the big end shells are showing signs of stress too [B)]
So the heads are getting o-ringed, going for lower comp pistons and we need to sort out a bigger pulley for the blower
