Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) o-rings

[TSBrown]

Looking for some one that does machine work for o-rings in southern maryland. Think i poped the head gasket last night after the new turbo. Took it for a drive and after it got up to temp I got on it a little. When i hit 50 psi i let out of it and heard what sounded to be a poping noise. I did this twice and heard the same noise. When i got it back home I saw a little oil sitting at the front of the head gonna go out today and clean the oil of and run it again to see if I get more oil. I dont know if the popping sound I heard was the waste gate opening or the gasket letting go.

At least you got to 50. Mine cut loose at 40. Here's a link to what mine looked like.



Make sure you find all the bits and pieces that got blown into the oil galley. Mine were packed into the oil passeges in the rocker pedistals. Others have had them wash back down into the main oil galley and had them pushed into the piston cooling jets. Either way, I wouldn't run your engine much 'till it's fixed.
