was getting the car all ready to go to Mod Nat this weekend to set off tonight, fitted new started motor (after last one on way home from Donny)
got her up and running all fine and sorted.
had a go of fitting the turbo, got it up and running and it then she started to shout HOT HOT HOT turned her off (after not really running for long) to find she had poped the head gasket
do not know weather its from the Donny trip (i notice at Donny weekend a few weeks back she had been running hot but kept my eye on it all and she seamed to be fine) or from playing with the turbo
well gutted
have to take the engine out to get to the back engine section and re done the timing belt after it only being run for maybe 24 hours
have spoken to alot of people with the V6 engine and they have said there all like this, they run hot anyway and there can very easyly have the gasket go
one of them thing i suposemore gutted about not going to this show at the weekend more then anything
just means i can paint all the engine up now shes out and on my bentch
she will be fixed and back for next weekend
for fast car scotland
she hasent even had the NOS yet ontop
