I managed to blow a headgasket last week on my way home after a fun weekend of trails. I suspected I had a head gasket leak for the longest time (prior to the GTurbo install)-- I would be low on coolant every couple months and it wasn't leaking anywhere nor ending up in the oil.
I have a '92 HDJ81 with a GTurbo Bad Boy. I run the turbo at 28PSI and have upped the fueling, water to air intercooler and larger exhaust. Other than what's normally expected with a head gasket replacement such as clean surfaces, clean head bolt threads out of lower end, new head bolts, new gaskets, etc (and I'll be getting a valve job/head service completed too), is there anything else I should do to prevent this from happening again in the future?
From what I gather on here with running a GTurbo, I shouldn't have to upgrade to head studs, performance head gasket, etc.
Any help or insight is appreciated! I also emailed Graeme to see what he has to say but figured I'd ask for you all's experiences.
