Evil_Foetus Forums Junkie Location: Ballarat, Victoria Registered: March 2003	Re: MA61 7M-GTE cooling/idling problems Thu, 24 March 2005 04:59 thanks for all the condolances guys- norbie- i only bought this car a month ago, the last two headgaskets were done in that lifetime... basically, the first headgasket was done at 238,000kms (odometer reading, not actual engine kms), the next at 245 (the metal one). its now 267 or something and it died in the last two weeks. its a stock engine, nothing done to it. stock 5psi boost. all the old head bolts were used, and i suspect that they probably didn't know you're supposed to torque the head down to the extra setting- im guessing they did the factory 52ft.lbs... anyway, theres a dude here in ballarat thats a bit of a guru apparantly with imported and turbo stuff- so we went and saw him. he's going to do the headgasket, use aftermarket headbolts and knows the factory head torque setting is a joke. he built a 700hp 7M so i'm pretty sure it's in good hands. the block and head will be checked and machined to be as smooth as a mirror... taking it in for a quote next thursday. so thanks for all your help guys. i really appreciate it. i'll let you know how it all goes. cheers guys.
