may be worth having it checked how long was it running for could just be a dodgy gasket. I just got one of the black fibre ones from mini spares they come with a 3 year warranty and are replaced if blown. Done now needs redoing lol |

I will run a straight edge over the block to see it there is anything however I don't want to pull that too if I can get away with it.

Yep I don't think the correct clamping load was on the head. I have ordered a new stud kit. Maybe I never went to the correct figure. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I had that type of gasket on my 1275, and that did the same thing after a very low mileage, you need a ( BK450) head gasket, that’s what I was told, I’ve put one on my turbo engine but not had it running yet.. Alan Main Build
