    Engine Turbo 331 issues

    Update: Busted ringland on cylinder 5. That would explain the smoke. I am using this as an opportunity to build a new motor as the setup I have doesn't make much sense to me for a stock block. I purchased the car with the current setup and the combination is not my style

    Engine Turbo 331 issues

    I have not checked compression yet. I will check the wastegate also. It is a Tial WG, not the on3 junk. The dipstick was out a little. I had a feeling this was a crankcase pressure issue. Do I need to get a different pcv or delete it?

    Engine Turbo 331 issues

    Pcv is stock as far as I know. I have a breather on the pass side valve cover. 14-15 psi. Blow off valve I believe is on3 performance, which is the turbo kit. Previous owner had it installed. I've had the car for about 4 years and just now having this issue.

    Exhaust Turbo Header Gasket Problems

    I have a 331 turbocharged fox. I can't keep header gaskets in this thing. I used Remflex the last time. Put about 75 miles on it. Tired of changing these. About to give up on this car. Has on3 turbo kit. This is probably a subject that's been beaten to death, but I am desperate. Help!

    Engine Head Upgrade Changes Sound?

    I would try a different exhaust setup perhaps. A lot cheaper than swapping out heads just to hopefully change sound. YouTube has just about every exhaust combination out there.

    Edelbrock Performer Heads Part# 6037

    I got a set of TW 170's for 700 used, but gone through by a machine shop for my last fox. You can do better for the money for sure, just keep looking.
