Chevy 400
Hi
I`ve got a mate with a 400 chevy with a weiland 6/71 blower on it , just had the bottom end rebult and low comprssion piston fitted , but it keeps blowing head gaskets , then at the weekend at a drag meeting did them again when we stripped it out found 3 of the studs into the block were cracked into the bores, is this a common fault or to do with the blower
He has been told to O ring the new block next time instead of head gaskets
is theis a good idea ??

I assume there's steam holes drilled?

There are, in my opinion, several things that will cause blown gaskets on a supercharged motor, the deck and/or heads are not parallel, running too much boost for the gasket used and letting the motor run in detonation. You'll have to determine what's happening to fix it. If the motor has been detonating, it's gonna pound the bearings out of it, bend some rods and maybe break some pistons too.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.

I had to go to the doctor's this morning. He told me that my sugar was too high so I came home and put it on a lower shelf. I feel better already.
