Toyota 18rgeu, over boosted to 20+psi (hit boost cut there) then the engine stopped, cranking it over sounded like i had the spark plugs out. It looks like the over boosting might not have been the main source of the damage...

#6
#6 combustion chamber (note the piston melted to the plug and the rest of the surface)
#1 combustion chamber
and where it popped the head gasket
It just seems a bit weird though, I think it popped the head gasket first as it was blowing a shitload of white smoke, temp wasnt THAT bad, run one more lap, then come in, and in that time it must have been enough to melt the holes in the pistons.
Was running 10.5:1 compression, about 8 degrees initial advance, WW 2 barrell running resonably rich,
So who wants to play guess what happened?

speedway, one way radio in ears, helmet on etc etc.
It was running fine for the first 4 laps, pulling hard, then bit of white smoke, Ive thought headgasket (was running hot) and after another slow lap and into the pit lane she was toast.

looking at going to E85, its still got to run on a unleaded variant to fit the rules (not that the other assholes stick to them either)
The only other issue we might have is getting the stromberg (WW 2 barrel) to push through enough fuel to keep up with the added demands of E85.
Im guessing we'd need to upgrade the full fuel system to cope?

I thought I should finally contribute the pics of my 383 Chev to this terrible, horrible thread!
These photos are in the sequence in which I pulled it apart and discovered what I was in for :(
