torched cyl head

just some close ups of the damage done to the cyl head!

hurt the fairmont today! haha

well we hooked up the car strait to the throttle, no intercooler to see if it was a restriction, and took it out and it was noticeably more powerful, so much so that i barely turned up the boost controller and it was at 25lbs of boost and an absolute terror, problem being that i had 6x reused head bolts and one stock tty bolt at only 65ftlbs in this car haha, and it lifted right where the TTY bolt was, and torched the head gasket and the head. the awesome thing is the bottom end is fine, we will be swapping the head out because that is damaged and swapping over the valvesprings and using a stud kit i have and taking it right back out! gunna dyno it this time and see the power different before i blow it up again but holy shit its making power for sure, the intercooler must have been a restriction because i was never able to lift the cyl head before... we will see once i get it back together, only took me and corey 38 min to pull the motor and take it apart, wild!

we were machines today and head swapped 2 lsx vehicles today, including installing 799 heads on my fairmont, hopefully pickup some power with the swap. it "should" haha
