Title: Augusta Head Gasket Failure Post by: JohnMillham on 18 October, 2010, 09:50:16 PM Here's a photo showing where my head gasket failed on the way home from the French Rally last month. It sounded like a machine gun, so I imagined it was an exhaust leak. It didn't loose any water, just compression!

When I modified a head for twin exhaust ports, at Bill Smith's suggestion, I drilled and tapped in 5 copper heat pipes and cooled them on the outside with a water filled capsule. It works but I should have thought ahead and extended the water space to cover the area of the original exhaust port. Peter Renou.
