Re: Boosting 9 psi at the Track - Vid on Pg. 76!! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Install Thre
Congrats on the civic. It looks great.

Not even worth it.

Thanks man!
I especially won't be running 13s since it looks like I popped another HG. Overflow bottle was overflowing today. This is getting fun. I'm going to re-torque the head studs tonight, drop down to 8 psi, and see how it does tomorrow. If I'm still pushing coolant out, looks like I have a Sunday project on my hands. I'm glad I ordered 2 HGs this time....

60 ft. lbs as per the ARP instructions. I might be seeing the difference between an aftermarket cheapie head gasket (which is what I'm running now) and an OEM Honda gasket. We'll see.
I just got home from work so I'm going to let the car cool down and then re-check the torque on the head studs. I've got another cheap HG I can throw on there this Saturday and if that one goes, I'm just going to buy a Cometic to make double-damn sure this never happens again!

OK. Just pulled the plugs out. Had to do it fast to preserve the condition of the electrodes so they wouldn't get contaminated by the oil in the spark plug wells. I flung oil all over - which was quite funny - but the good news is that the ends of the plugs were dry and looking like they should.
So.
You're right Matt, this isn't good. But, it may not be catastrophic, since it wasn't coming from the piston area. I never had black exhaust smoke so combine that with the plug electrodes and I think it's just blow-by. I've got a couple ideas to try right now.
Keep em coming folks.
