AND ALL I DID WAS BLOW BOTH HEAD GASKETS !!!!!!!! WOOHOO !!!!!!!!!!
Looks like about $100 in gaskets and I will be back on the road ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)
The pistons still look GREAT
Guess JE pistons don't suck as much as that cock smoker @ Force Fed Performance told me when the same thing happened to my car on his dyno awhile back
The heads were undamaged this time. Last time I had to milled the heads about .020 since it burned the head between cylinders.
I am a happy happy guy right now !!!!!!
Just thought I would keep you guys updated

Was your car dyno tuned on the 200 shot. And let me get this straight so just the head gaskets blew right, no head or piston damage ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

No dyno tuning on the car at all
No piston or cylinder head damage
I will come clean on what caused the problem:
OPERATOR ERROR
Kinda forgot that I had straight 91 octane gas and not the 98-100 octane I run when on the bottle
So kids, today's lesson is Don't hit a 200 shot on pump gas ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Resurrection will occur next weekend.
I am NOT going to try to run 10's on the bottle, I WILL run 10's on the bottle
Let's just hope they can get the track prepped properly so I don't die !!!!

BTW I was standing right there when this all happened. The first thing you said was the piston had a hole in it. Brian replied to you that he had the good J&E pistons to which you said "they are Junk" You were very rude when this all happened. I have a Vortech blown car that needs to be on a Dyno and I wouldn't use you after that. BTW the last post on this is almost a Year old why dig it back up? You had plenty of time to square this all up over the last 2 years.

It was a poor attempt at an excuse that made no sense.
