deja de malgastar dinero en juntas y hazle fire rings...y va a aguantar eso.

sino vas a gastarte pal de pesitos en una buena...para rwd las apexi y cosworth son muy buenas.

la cometic tiro una nueva linea llamada Phuzion que esta violenta pero esta cara y aun no tienen para VE ensi que seria custom.

miralas pa que tengas idea.

sounds like you have another problem other than a head gasket. I am running the ve-t gasket with the golden eagle head studs and have had zero issues. I run 15psi on the street and up to 20psi on pump gas. You sure you don't have a tuning issue or possibly the head or block is not true.

Can you update your post with plugs and injector size? That could be your problem right there, along with the tune being off.

I would strip the block and head and have them both surfaced before putting on another gasket. Also if you have replaced multiple gaskets and used the same head studs that can cause a issue. I would also at least check the stretch on the head studs to make sure they are still in spec. Your afr's sound right but that does not mean you do not have a timing issue. what do your plugs looks like? Check the pistons for signs of detonation.

^ I agree, sounds like you have something that is not true.
