So, how do you guys run on >200bhp, any "cooling advice"?

Yes turbo area create an hot spot between 3rd and 4th cylinder.

but when i got hold of a good head from the silviagod and had it sorted at AMT engines , it never blew again, it had the mig wired bock and ran 32psi with no probs.

Sorry i cant teach you anything as it doesnt make any sence.mwahaha I was using the quick reply as a notepad template and did not delete all the text.


Nearly all headgaskets on the et engine either go between cylinder 3&4 or they go on the water ways as they have gone rotten.3 and 4 exhaust ports and manifold sections definately get the worst of the heat and possibly backpressure turbulance from the turbo.

I holed a piston on the et once and that was number 3

Only other reasons could be that the coolant is at its highest temperature at the further end of the block. its all speculation.


Im sure that an air to oil cooler is the way to go.
