Felpro 9333 head gasket limit......
I found the limit on Felpro 9333 yesterday.
Took a co-worker for ride in the 93 yesterday after work. Nice and cold weather. We did two 3rd and 4th gear pulls on a low traffic road. On the last pass I saw 16psi on the boost gauge in 3rd, went into 4th, and BOOM car started making a loud exhaust leak sound. Limped it back to work and we noticed the head gasket fire ring sticking out from under the head on the #3 cylinder

Re: Felpro 9333 head gasket limit......
sounds to me like the head lifted if the ring is sticking out from under it.

Re: Felpro 9333 head gasket limit......
should I check the torque on the head nuts before removing it?

I would, are they ARP bolts or studs. Also after you remove them check them for stretch.

Sorry man. HG's are a pain. But better than the pistons.

Seems like you must have had some detonation to do that.
