I was having problems with the heads lifting then finaly this happened. What should i do. just get it fixed or get new darton sleevs?

 

Ouch, what did the gasket look like? I thought you parted it out?

 

change ur pistons! with the money you spenton your car, such a high cr is gonna be bad for you!

PS, i thought u sold ur car?

 

I sold the turbo's, i thought i just blew the headgasket, but then i found this when i took the heads off. I am keeping it NA to stay out of trouble. I am actualy going with 11.1 compression, and keeping the car.

 

On this one my spark plug broke and screwed the piston up.

 

WOW .... the sleeve cracked .. WOW

What do you have on the engine? How much PSI were you running?

 

is there any damage on the head where the sleeve is cracked? it can be because of the inproper torque specs of head bolts.

 

Was this the drivers side ? My gasket failed on all three driver side pistons on the intake side .

 

Yes it was the driver's side, the head has no damage. I was running 14psi on 10.5:1 forged pistons. making over 600rwhp.

 

Is it just me, or does that look like it burned/melted through, rather than cracked? Anyway, I'm guessing that can't be fixed by redecking, so I vote for Darton sleeves, especially given the power you were making.

there is actually a chunk o the cylinder gone!!! i must say, that is a very weird thing to happen. your cylinder pressures had to of been through the roof!!
