Evan Wrote:a guy I was at the track with this weekend developed this problem on his STi. Im just not convinced its a headgasket. IMO the shops calling it a bad headgasket are just chasing $$$. From what the guy said the "blown" headgaskets even look fine after taking them out.I agree with you Evan, there is definitely something going on and it may or may not be full headgasket damage. Was your student in a white STi with Sparcos and rollbar? Because I know he has been having this issue for the last couple track days. I'm hoping it gets resolved reasonably soon as I'd like to avoid the problem before it begins.
Its missing way too many symptoms of a typical blown headgasket. personally I think its something else, but of course thats just my personal hypothesis.
Dave, I like your idea but I really am not that talented to create what you are talking about.
And yes... its been quite a hit off the GFCP, definitely enjoying learning how to go fast.
