FYI head gaskets never fail on these engines so it maybe something internal that caused the failure!
That’s what I understand. That’s why I’m pulling the second head. Going to tear down to the crankshaft and at very least re-bearing the bottom end and send the heads to machine shop. Also going to get new accessories (water pump, oil cooler, etc). I’ve seen that Porsche had issues with block porosity but I don’t see where the 2.5 was an issue. Any thoughts? Also today is snap-on day I’m not going to wait a week for Cornwell.
