These are supposed to be round.....Right?

[EHA Racing]

I popped the heads off the Booger last night ease my mind about some power loss. Well, this might have something to do with it LOL. I'm pretty confident I did this on the last pass at the street car Shootout when I made a rookie mistake a made a full pass without the fan and water pump on. The engine survived and it still had 185 psi in each cylinder so we ran the last 2 MOMS events like this, even recording our fastest passes to date.
Check them out LOL. The cylinder bores are supposed to be round, not oblong. They started as 4.100 bore gaskets haha.

not good lol

not good lol

It's not a big deal. They would have been changed anyways. It's just cool seeing the effect of massive amounts of nitrous and the fact this thing lived so long when I was really pushing it. The pistons and heads are in mint condition. I could just put new head gaskets on it and run the hell out of it again!!
Na, it's getting a total refresh!

 

[Quick281]

might as well go thru it while its apart. hopefully you'll run your 8.99 next year

Damn. The Booger has so much power it stretched the gaskets.

"Na, it's getting a total refresh! "

O yea 2010 moms racing hurry and get here. I want to see the booger in action again.

LOL.....nice. Always better the gasket then the internals.

Cometics right?? they make some pretty good gaskets!

I hear mixed reviews on them....a LOT of people that have had problems. I hear the Felpro MLS are the better option.

No way. Fel-Pro is having a ton of problems with their MLS gaskets right now.
BTW, mine are Mr. Gaskets.

Trust me that's not gonna be a problem!

 

[stangman1995gt]

^^Thats what I like to hear^^

 

[1990_LX]

Well, there's your problem captain.

Now that is what you call cylinder pressure. This engine needs to be bronzed and made as a statue! I can't believe that thing took the whooping it it did all year and all it did was stretch the head gaskets a little. I'll take that as a successful season!

Keep up the good work

NICE!!! It's always better to have the headgasket be the fuse though like that rather than a piston, rod, etc take the abuse.

My thoughts exactly.

the Booog is a Beast!

I just run Fel Pro 8548 PT2's in all the cars I've had with superchargers and they hold up fine and if you do get some detonation they will let go. $45 gaskets are cheaper than a motor lol.

Isn't funny how they always run the best just before their about to blow up!
Nice to see you got to it before it hydrauliced the engine with coolant.
