head gasket

Hey Everyone! We've been building up a 1989 Shelby Daytona here at the shop, and we've been filming the entire cylinder head inspection, rebuild, and port-n-polish job while we're at it. I wanted to say Thank You to everyone here at Turbo Dodge for all the great info and advice we've collected...

I blew a head gasket one day in my Lebaron when it hit overboost. It also damaged my head. I put a g head on there that I had laying around (without doing my research). To begin with, it was fine, the usual 6000 rpm redline...a few days later, every time I hit like 4500 or 5000 rpm, it'd sound...

I have a 92 Spirit with a 2.2L 87 shelby motor and a 92 2.5L computer[if that matters] It drives around great, but anytime I come to an idle for more than about 20 seconds it start billowing huge amounts of smoke. Pretty sure its burning oil, but what could be the cause? Any ideas?

I've got an LED boost gauge for sale, 30vac/30 boost. 2 brand new never used timing belts for the 2.2/5L, round teeth and a set of head, exhaust and valve cover gaskets for a 3.0L. Also never used... obviously heh. Boost gauge I replaced with an autometer one I got. Not sure the make though...

I wanna know what tools do I need to remove a head on a 1983 2.2l non turbo. I removed mine but forgot what sockets I used. I'm asking this because I'm going to a u-pick it junk yard and don't really wanna take all of my tools with me.

So I have a 88' Non-CB with a 89+ cross-drilled head and I may need to change the head gasket. I might have a intake leak which really means pulling the head to check it lol. I'm not sure which gasket i'll need. I think its the 005 seeing how the block isn't cross drilled so no need for the...

Shouldnt. Usually bars leak will work its way into the craks/leaks as a paste, then when it gets hot, it will sloidify. It doesn't weld itself to the car, its copper (or most bar's leaks are made froma copper derivative of some kind) If it would mess with the head, people wouldn't spray their...

took my head off because engine was overheating and oil and coolant were mixing, most likely a blown gasket. Had the head pressure tested and resurfaced. The machine shop said that it wasnt cracked and that when they resurfaced it they took "less then 5 off". Dont really know what that...
