Blown head gaskets= a major part blown in tbe motor. The motor needs to be torn down to fix…end of story…wake up man…
Praise and respect are 2 different things. I have NEVER been an asshole to anyone who has treated me with respect. That should answer those questions.
Say what you will sir. I hope you all enjoy the results.
Blown head gaskets mean the heads come off not an engine tear down. Not what “blown” means in the aftermarket world. Blown implies broken mechanical parts en engine beyond salvage. Caused by implied tune or assemble defect. In this case, the problem was stock head bolts, something that has been found to be a weak link in the B5 community. Thus everyone going to aftermarket studs/bolts.
So, end of story, not blown.
No blown…blown head gaskets…meamt a parts was blown in the motor. .its nice your not even doing the work but you know what a blown motor is…something broke in the motor. It. Was blown head gaskets.
I know being part of the advertising staff @amd they dont want you to clasify it as blown…but you blew up a crutial part of your motor that reauires you entire motor to come out…get tore down…heads sent out to get decked…drian all the fluids…drain all the oil check for damags then put it all back together
Your delousional man…blown motor…something in the motor blew…that was ur head gaskets…the truth to the story…your stoey ended a long time ago
Lol the word blown is right in the description
In any event who used the stock parts when they built your motor? If it’s a known issue and your motor was being torn down and rebuilt, was there a reason to reuse them? Or is this known issue only a recently known issue.
Try a thicker one piece head gasket . Some firm in the uk makes some gaskets for supercharging n/a engines .
Has to be tapered and I can’t remember what else .
He has a b5 s4 that has blown it’s motor 2 or 3 times thanks to various tuning companies’ work.
Not a supercharged rs4. Although his dad has an S6.
Tweets, if I buy a B5 S4 and drive it daily for a year straight…could I say I have more experience with B5 S4s than you?
Plenty of thing beyond faulty head bolts can cause a blown head gasket…and I hope no one reused OEM head bolts on a motor being rebuilt considering they are one time use and stretch. Improper instal could be just as much of a contributor (not following torquing phases)
I think if you buy a B5 and daily drive it for a year straight, you will not only have more B5 experience than tweets (whose car has only run like 7 days since he bought it 5 years ago), you may in fact set a B5 record.
That’s not true, my silver car ran well for over a year. Where I in the proper sense of the word, blew up the engine. Engine because cars, unless they are hybrids or electric have engines not motors.
I have a stake in the 4.2 world. That’s all I’m saying.
Saki. My car made more power than any 4.2 does, why would I lie about that. You want me to gravle at your feet and tell you how wrong I was to disagree with you all? My car ripped, I loved it. The only complaint I have is his turn around time. That’s it. I’m back to AZ and AE enjoy when the results come out and I’ll be back when my silver car has gone to the 1/4.
You seam to be confusing me, or maybe I am not understanding you.
Did you just say that your car had bad head gaskests, because I am pretty sure you said that your problem was bad head bolts.
You also said that the factory head Bolts were a known problem. This is not true. I have been using factory used head bolts for years and I have never come Accross a problem.
They are a problem past a certain power level. Bolts weren’t strong enough and the heads lifted thus breaking the seal and mixing oil/coolant.
See ya later boys, congrats on getting cooler parts for the RS4
Take note…he just promised he was leaving. Again.
No response???
I will say this. If those were really a probelm that was ‘known’ and your engine builder, the supposed best in the west, didn’t make the effort to change out for aftermarket parts, what does that say? Didn’t this person have your car for like 6 months in building the motor/fixing VAST’s fuckups?
Then when the motor ran into trouble, you sent it back, 2000 miles across the country, to have it re-fixed by the same guy. This is the story?
Do you have any proof that the bolts weren’t strong enough. Do you have a picture of the damage to the head bolts. I have never purchased a new set of head bolts for my car and I have never experienced any problem with them.
The only thing that could possibly make any since would be this; YOUR MECHANIC DID NOT TORQUE THE HEAD BOLTS PROPERLY, or he cause the problem by not doing something correctly. DON’T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE FOOLED so easily. Good luck.
Blown motor?? Are you admitting it now??
It wasn’t the head gasket?? It was the bolts that couldn’t hold?? A result in too much boost?
youre like an annoying little chihuahua
wait, so now you guys are going to talk shit and say the rs4 times dont matter because its just one car???
RS6R!!!1!!! 10.88!!! OMG THEY ARE THE BESTEST EVERYONE SHOULD BUY THEIR NEW NOT FROM CHINA, CHINA TURBOS…
anyone else remember this? is it possible that you guys are hypocrites?
The answer is YES
youre like an annoying little shih tzu
Lol you all read into things more than Descartes did with chairs.
1st of all lets all agree that the proper word is Engine and act like educated enthusiasts
2. How am I supposed to leave here when I’m asked more questions, on things that I was clear about and answered.
3. The car had compromised head gaskets and bolts, no other part was damaged or not functioning in a proper manner. Err go not a blown “engine” meaning the engine was fully compromised and of there was a mechanical failure.
4. FAW, ask British why he didn’t use stock head bolts if you don’t believe me. Don’t act like you know what you’re taking about when you don’t.
5.Saki, if you want me to leave, stop asking me questions kinda obvious right?
