She started puking green sludge from the catch can, and had excessive blow-by. That can't be good can it? This video we do an initial prognosis, of hopefully something easily fixed like a head gasket.

Great video Mike! Unfortunately turbocharged cars tend to blow out head gaskets frequently it’s just part of going fast and hot rodding. Best of luck with the rebuild brother.

Sweet man! Thanks Gerry! That's awesome, and no probelm, its just a metter of changing the tee type to get the broader size options! These shirts are cool, sorta help support the channel and I literally make 2 bucks off a shirt...so never made the "merch" for any profit. Just want to make some unique Foxbody related Tees...Man you have my email, let me know here, or email back how they turn out.

Sorry to hear this for you. Great job diagnosing the issue without ripping the engine apart before hand. You caught this early on so you may get by with some gaskets as long as that #7 cylinder isn’t scared up. May not be a bad idea to put fresh oil in it and prime with a drill to flush the bearings of any coolant if you are not doing a full tear down. Prime for about 10 minutes and let sit over night. Then drain the oil, change filter and top off with fresh before you fire it up. Hoping for an easy recovery for ya!

Stay positive. It’s probably just a head gasket man. You will be good. Bigger question I have is the root cause of the over boost. Was it really just a car show knob turner or is there something else going on?
@HOUSEOFDULA2 жыл бұрын
Appreciate it. Well i think its been a slow leak for some time. Over boost? I mean the tune did its job and cut spark and fuel, but thats pretty rough on the motor. One thought is the thinned out oil just allowed the turbo to spool faster, idk. Or the boost controller is shot.
@natet12272 жыл бұрын
I had the same issue, ended up being a bad intake gasket. That might be what's causing a causing a vacuum leak giving your boost controller false readings too.

Man you might be spot on! Didnt even think about it causing a vacuum leak, bad signal to controller AND ECU.

Hey Dula, I also have an 86 with a bone stock engine. I wanted to put heads cam and an intake on it in the future but I’ve been reading that the 86s came with flat top pistons that won’t work with a bigger cam or even some aftermarket cylinder heads without valve reliefs. Do you know if this is true and did you have any issues with it during the process of working on your motor?
@HOUSEOFDULA2 жыл бұрын
This sir is true. You CAN do some mild cam upgrades without interference, but have to be careful and check piston to valve clearance. On wilder cams you can also cut valve reliefs yourself. So, once my 86's engine was tired I planned to rebuild with new pistons, aftermarket heads etc. but I ran into that 89 car that had a fresh rebuild in it I puchased, and threw it in, in place if the 86. The heads on an 86 are also pretty weak sauce...a good upgrade is leave the stock cam and pistons, throw on 3 bar GT40 heads, and GT40 intake and it will really wake up.
