Yet another blown head gasket. I guess it's a boost initiation ritual for us magnum guys.
I don't know the why they blow but my observation is that it seems to always include the outer most cylinders, like #1 and #7 or #2 and #8. Look at Dusted's pic above. I seem to recall that it is also those cylinders on the factory Magnum heads that tend to have the cracked valve seats between the exhaust and intake valves....or at least the cracks are the most severe on the far ends. I wonder if it's not a weak cooling issue on those cylinders? I'm convinced my head gaskets blew not long after I had a couple of over-heating issues on my build possibly weakening the gasket material.
I hope that's the extent of the damage and you're able to get it back together and on the road. -subcom
