Alive and better than ever! - Blown Head Gasket Fix

We pull the heads to confirm the blown head gasket on my '86 On3 Turbo Fox mustang. Then repair it! making it better along the way with head studs, cometic header gaskets, proper head gaskets, more ceramic coat and the start of a NEW TUNE!

So glad you got it back on the road! Another fox body lives! And it’s a four eyed fox at that! LOVE IT.

My be too late for you but the Fel-Pro gaskets 1250 are horrible, every time I have used them, they push out. You need to get M-9439-A50 they are metal reinforced and will hold their shape and will not distort. They also hold their torque better since it will not compress as much, and no cutting required at the water ports either. Another tip is to add 5 pounds of torque on the head bolts closest to the intake side of the head, because when torquing the intake down it will lift up on the head closest to the lifter valley.

Sound like your having better luck with black fox. Your tune was the first thing I thought of in the previous video. Glad to see you up and running again.

Nice work DULA! I have about the same setup.. just need to finish mine up.

I love your honesty in your videos. Taking the heads off in the engine bay is a big task. I have done that with my old 86gt and my 85gt. Great job on getting the car back on the road again. I use a moates quarterhorse and data logging is a great tool!

[EmperorSeneca]

absolutely love that you're still working on foxbodys and that you're still making video! I would reach out to auto companies for sponsorships it can support your channel! :)

Glad Steve could help you out! He did my car 3 years ago. I tried to tell you he was the man haha. I also did head studs. 14psi just loving life.

Very cool, I’m glad it wasn’t more than the head gasket!! Great video, thanks 😊

REM flex are the best !!! Have them on my turbo car for 3 + years … I m running 14 psi no problems . Good job mike

[vrmgt]

awesome Mike! Sounds like you found a good tuner too!

[ericridout]

I’m in the same boat on the 85. Heads are off and back from shop gotta re-install put everything back together

[BomB_Don]

Run it with out the turbo.. less hassle. still a clean car. I wouldn’t be surprised the passenger side blows out once you get it back together. Good luck man love the channel

Nice! It's like being replaced with a new one.

[Demboyzrunnin]

When you reinstalled your heads and rocker arms, did you have to go with the firing order???

[VictorSanchez-kpnt]

I like these types of videos I'm not a mechanic by trade either but have wrenched my whole life. So I always learn something, nothing like a sealed up motor to kick you in the a$$ when you stand on it😎💪.

Man couldn’t help but laugh with the talk of that dei wrap lol. I ceramic coated my hot side and wrapped my hot side with dei just to be extra safe with the heat and talk about a nightmare you are right. That stuff was on my hands and arms for 2 days after numerous showers and washes. That was with gloves on. Looked like a crack head itching all day. Get yourself a turbo blanked for the down pipe. It will fit no problem with a little wiggling it down in there and doesn’t shed like that dei wrap tape.

some time the turbo headers can warp a little and will cause a header leak

[turbomanw]

its time for a new complete set up DULA, holley efi, 351w, new ponydown stage 2 kit vs racing 80mm turbo 1, 000hp o yea baby

I live in Burleson. You wouldn’t happen to have a gt40 intake and heads for sale by chance?
