Hi all after some help. I'm pulling my hair out as to the head gasket failing into the water way.
I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I had a solid copper plate made to get rid of the de-comp and gaskets. I used a sealant for belt and braces approach as well but that held up on a 1293 up to 150bhp. |

This is running a supercharger and injection, right?

Paul I was thinking the same thing. I'm changing the exhaust manifold to put the wideband in the pipe for the outers. I will get some pics of the head up.

No more meat to come out of the head, or a different head?

Our very own turbo Phil said there wasn't much more to come out as it had been skimmed in a previous life.

I might be tempted to bung up those big coolant holes close to the chambers on 1 and 4 and between 2/3 and run a commetic MLS big bore gasket On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

So you're using soft copper as a spacer between two even softer head gaskets ?

It is running water meth 50/50 injection at just user 5 psi.

Either an un skimmed 295 or use a 940 head on it?

It may be a gasket...but you wouldnt normally use 3 gaskets and expect it to hold either ? Perhaps if the middle spacer was a steel MLS gasket you could get away with it. Copper...Ive never even had any success using them as a gasket, nevermind with 2 other gaskets. What is your CR with the thickest single gasket you can find ? For a low boost setup...water/meth....I'm sure you could be using a fairly high CR with no difficulties. 9.85 @ 145mph

Just for clarity, you can't put a large bore gasket on with a small bore head (well not without blocking up lots of the head's waterways). Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Possibly pre-ignition rather than detonation. The problem seems to come from the area where the combustion chamber overlaps the bore. Have you got a nice chamfer to the bore edge in that area? Any hot spot could cause pre-ignition.

Based on the picture of the head, I would say that your fuel distribution is OK, perhaps a little rich.
