[93cobra#3326]

is there a club for this, sign me up. :fm:
i was going to work this morning and noticed the temp gauge was reading i little warmer than usual. i stopped popped the hood pearred into the overflow tank and sure enough bubbley bubbley
thinking back (i havent driven the car since last sunday afternoon)
i must have done it when i swapped in my 92 gt's a9l eeciv. i guess the extra timing in the a9l was enough to finally do it. so anyways anyone have a new head gasket recommendation?
dam it. i was all excited to install my new SBS. brake pads and adj. proportioning valve today. oh well, bad thing is now mu brains storming with new ideas. hmm cam,headwork, forged pistons????? hmmm :read:

Sorry, I didn't really see any questions about what you should do. Just the comment about mu brainstorming with new ideas. :??:

Don't despair. A blown head gasket isn't death. Try losing 2 main bearings and 4 rod bearings. ;-) I didn't see what type of power adder, if any, you were running. You could go with several different options depending on your car. Anything from stock gaskets up to O-ringing the block.
