My daily driver is pretty beat up haha.
Blew headgasket at 170+ mph at the half mile. First motor I've ever blown.

Looks like a little more than a head gasket failure there haha. How much boost was that?

It's actually not and it's common on 1000+ GTR builds. That spot is the weakest spot on the engine. Was running 30 psi. Piston was perfect and shows no signs of detonation and so was the sparkplug. Engine is now at T1 getting a full build. They reinforce that area and have a custom head gasket to help prevent the failure. That much boost and heat cuts thru aluminum heads and aluminum block like a plasma cutter.
I think Sully was saying that the damage and repair isn't limited to just a HG, and I'd have to agree. lol

Yeah looks to me like that block and head are now paperweights haha
