- Some of you know that I had some issues with boost and with over fueling. Many said I looked like a diesel heading down the salt. Well, today I started checking things. Well actually a day or two ago

- What head gaskets are best for a 5.0L ford with aluminum heads and running 16 to 18 psig boost? Mayf, providing head & deck surfaces are flat and are torqued correctly, the Cometics will be fine. Eve

- Mayf Boost leaks, even small and undetected will play hell with your engine, especially if you're using a mass airflow metering system. Best thing to do is build a boost leak tester... essentially so

- Hi Doc After John Staigers comments I guess I need to reply. The MLS gaskets you have are really pretty good and should have stood up to the boost levels you have subjected them to, providing that su

- I've been told that the throttle body should hold back most (not all, but 99%) of the pressure, otherwise, you have issues with your TB too. _______________________________________________ Land-speed

- A properly gasketed exhaust system will permit capping the exhaust to further the sealing process. (Leave the plugs in) Then no need to loosen rockers. System pressurization results are surprising!!!
