Cooling system holds 20psi steady, first bullet dodged.
All cylinders have compression.
Now to toss it back together and weld in second gate.
So, It did blow a head gasket? Going back MLS? Just a curious bench racer.

Doesn't seem to have blown a head gasket.
Took the day off so gonna try to get stuff back installed and have the car ready for the weekend perhaps.
Unrelated to the head gasket scare, current wastegate setup seems to want to climb to 9-10psi on gate. Which is annoying since I was able to get 5psi or so on dyno.
So, I said fuck it and ordered another gate before the PRI show

Hopefully I can get 5psi on gate then work on adding boost via on board air
