So the head gasket on my 998 road mini keeps blowing. Firts time between 2 and 3, then between 3 and 4, and just now I take of the head and it;'s gone between 1 and 2.

I'd change the studs as a first measure - unless you're convinced they haven't been 'abused' (overtightened) at any point...

How is it blowing Wil? You can usually gather some info from the area it has been leaking. Are you sure your radiator and water pump are up to scratch?

Might be worth doing a plug chop on it if you can after a decent run.

if it happens again, try using a different torque wrench. A friend had the same problem, his wrench was over-torquing the head and had actually stretched some studs. I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

Well it got me to work and I just checked my torque wrench aginst the lab one and its about 1Nm out. But as I always put it to 70 ratther than 68 it's about spot on, it was consistant too. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Quite a lot of the time we find on the 998's that the problem is the head. If you can 'lick' a bit off i think that'll sort you. |
