Help me diagnose why my head gasket blew
I want to figure out why it let go. No point in putting it back togeather with new gaskets and it happening again. Engine is a Magnum 360, with stroker crank, Edelbrock aluminum heads.
Cylinder #8 was filling with water.
Head gasket and bolts:
Looks like that is where it failed, part of the fire ring is MIA:
Why are the bolts so greasy:
does the missing blue line on the Fel Pro gasket mean anything, another leak?
A lot of carbon build up:
Cylinder #8 on left:
Eddy head, valves and plugs are red because of octane booster, I think.
More carbon build up along the edge of the combustion chamber on the head:
